Join Amy McKimm for a relaxed and festive Saturday afternoon workshop.

This wintery snowy Fox scene themed workshop is a lovely opportunity to slow down, get creative and explore the beautiful medium of pastel. Amy will guide participants through the drawing process, helping to develop drawing skills and build confidence with pastel pencils as everyone works together on this festive subject.

From the first outline through to the final touches, Amy will demonstrate each stage and share her knowledge of pastel techniques, including helpful advice on materials, some of her favourite brands and how to get the best from them.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers, with no previous experience necessary. Experienced artists who would like to explore pastels are very welcome too. All materials are provided, and Amy’s gentle, relaxed teaching style makes this a friendly and enjoyable workshop for everyone.

Due to the size of the venue, places are limited to a maximum of 12 participants.

Feel free to bring along your own drinks and snacks. Tea, coffee and squash are available free of charge.

Please note: The Making Mill is located on the first floor and is currently not wheelchair accessible. The workshop room can only be accessed via stairs, so please bear this in mind if you have specific mobility requirements.
