Explore the luminous colours of a Tiffany-style stained glass landscape while discovering the calming craft of silk painting. This hands-on workshop shows you how to achieve soft, watercolour-like effects using silk paints across two landscapes created by artist Louise Grassby, drawing on early 20th-century Tiffany designs. Perfect for beginners and returners alike. You’ll select one small design for an A6 card and one larger 7” x 5” piece, bringing both to life with a vibrant colour palette. Each finished piece is yours to take home, complete with a mountboard frame for a polished look. Led by local artist Louise Grassby, who has years of teaching experience, this workshop is designed to make silk painting accessible and enjoyable.
