What if a lake floated in the sky, a staircase disappeared into the clouds, or mountains grew upside down?

In this four-week watercolour workshop, we'll explore imaginary landscapes that combine familiar places with unexpected elements, creating dreamlike scenes that exist somewhere between reality, fantasy, and the surreal.

Throughout the course, I'll introduce you to different watercolour techniques, including atmospheric washes, distant mountains, colour blending, and layering.

But this workshop is about more than painting techniques! We'll also play with our imagination through creative exercises inspired by the Dadaists and Surrealists: word games, free association, unexpected juxtapositions, changes of scale, and combinations of impossible images. These playful experiments will help us break away from familiar ways of seeing and discover new ideas for our paintings.

Whether you dream of floating islands, strange forests, impossible architecture, or quiet places that feel vaguely familiar, you'll have the chance to develop your own visual language and create landscapes that tell a story.

No previous watercolour experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment!

Welcome again to our special guest of the month: Barbara from Arco Iris Embroidery!!!

Floral Sweater Embroidery Workshop: Give your winter sweater a floral upgrade! 🌸

Bring a sweater you love (or one that needs a little something extra) and embroider your own flowers and leaves on it. You’ll learn versatile stitches and play around with colours and designs to make it yours.
Some of the stitches are also great for covering small stains or fixing holes, so you can give a sweater that needs a little care a new life.

Never embroidered before? No problem! Everyone is welcome, and we will learn all the embroidery fundamentals.

All materials are included, and you’ll get a stitch guide to continue practising at home, plus my full support.

# Winter Magic – Watercolour Cities under the Snow

Imagine quiet forests covered in snow, little houses tucked between frosty trees, distant mountains fading into mist and winter skies glowing with unexpected colours.

In this three-class watercolour series, we'll explore the magic of winter landscapes and discover how to paint them with water and colour. We'll experiment with the beautiful possibilities of white on paper, translucent layers, snow effects (white crayons, wax and more!), soft skies and unexpected colour combinations to create landscapes that feel almost like stepping into a winter dream.

Expect plenty of experimentation, new techniques and inspiration from artists and picture books. No previous watercolour experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment!
