Mushroom Paint & Sip
Netty is hosting a watercolour paint & sip at three locations for Fungi Feastival.
Anyone can come and have fun at a Paint and Sip Party. No experience is needed, you'll be guided step by step. Gather some friends or come on your own. You'll leave feeling great and with a gorgeous painting you did yourself! Everything you need for the painting is provided, including an apron. This session gives you the choice of 4 different painting styles, plus you can customise each with colours and details of your choosing. Of course I'll demonstrate every step of the way and give you as much or a little individual support as you'd like. We're painting on 30 x 40cm ready-to-hang stretched canvas with acrylic paints.
Collage
Collage Forage
Collage Forage combines the magical appeal of mushrooms with collage making in a pub. This workshop is a casual meet up and creative night out for beginners and seasoned collage artists alike. No prior experience is necessary. Plenty of fun guaranteed!
Share conversation, make new friends, dip into a treasure-trove of materials and create collages inspired by the textures, shapes and colours of local fungi.
All materials are provided but please remember to bring your favourite scissors and/or blades for cutting. Food and drink are available to purchase at the venue on the night.
Emma’s creative foray into the world of fungi began in 2020. Her passion for the aesthetics and symbolism of fungi is often referenced in her work.
