Spend a day immersed in watercolour with Fionnuala from Make Space Studio in this relaxed and creative retreat, designed for beginners and anyone looking to build confidence in a welcoming, small-group setting.

The day begins with a series of guided exercises introducing the key techniques of watercolour, or helping you loosen up and refresh your skills if you've painted before. From there, you'll progress to longer painting studies, with demonstrations, individual tuition and plenty of time to experiment, observe and enjoy the process at your own pace.

More than just a workshop, this is an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and spend a day focused on creativity. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or returning to watercolour after a break, Fionnuala will support you throughout, helping you build your skills and confidence while creating finished pieces to take home.
