Workshops & Mentoring

Workshops

Spend a full day immersed in creativity with a 10am–4pm drawing, painting, and mixed media workshop led by landscape artist Addy Gardner. Held either in the inspiring setting of Addy’s home studio or outdoors in a nearby natural space, this workshop offers the perfect balance of structured guidance and personal exploration. Working from elements found in nature or still life, you’ll experiment with pencil, watercolor, ink, and collage, developing your own expressive approach under Addy’s gentle, expert instruction. Suitable for all levels, this day is designed to spark creativity and deepen your artistic practice.
