We’ll be hosting some free workshops at the AAF every day between next Thursday and Sunday and we’d love for you to get involved. Here’s what you can expect from us:

Thursday 10th March, 12pm – ‘Everything But The Kitchen Sink’

This is a still life session with a difference – no fruit bowls or vases of flowers. Just an interesting array of everyday utensils and items and a whole range of exciting art materials from Cowling & Wilcox. Whether it’s your first try or you are an accomplished artist – this one is for everyone!

Friday 11th March, 12pm – ‘Strange Fruit’

We invite you to take part in another still life session with a difference: a contemporary take on the classic still life with everything you need to get started. Great for beginners.

Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th March, 2pm – Zentanglemania

Join in to help create a GIANT Zentangle drawing. The tables will be covered in paper – fill in the circles with shapes, patterns and colour. Silly, creative, family fun.
