Playing with your inner artist - one day workshop

 
On Saturday October 20th I'm holding a one day Art Workshop at the beautiful Highgate House in Northamptonshire.

You are invited to join me for a day playing with paint & paper in like-minded company. Creativity is like a spa for your soul. Relaxation comes in many forms. For some it's a day at the health club being massaged and manicured. Others like to settle down with a box of popcorn at the movies. I like to create and get paint down my fingernails instead. How about you?
 
It was with this in mind that I created this workshop. In our hectic lives inevitably doing what we're told by others, we rarely have the time to just be ourselves. To tap into our right-brained inner creativity and have a good rummage around to see what's there.
 
I make it a habit to do this every week and I'm always surprised by the outcome. Will you be?


That's me - with a playful twinkle in my eye!


Highgate House dates back to the 17th century and has served as Inn, farmhouse, coaching station, hunting lodge, family home and now a beautiful conference centre and home to my Art Workshop! If you're a history buff, keep reading here.

  3. Lisa, this was there in my mind, but money is tight although I was hoping I might manage, but now I've been sick for almost a month so I'm just not well enough :(

    I hope this weekend retreat goes well so that you hold another one! x
