Wild Mark-Making at Northam Burrows

With Rachel Stanton

10am–4pm | £70/£60 concessions

Join artist Rachel Stanton for a playful, nature-inspired workshop exploring watercolour and charcoal techniques using found materials from Northam Burrows.

We’ll start at the Visitors Centre with a gentle walk along the Burrows to forage for natural tools, and work en plein air to experiment with mark-making, expressive watercolours, and intuitive drawing.

• Learn to use natural objects for mark-making
• Practice intuitive watercolour techniques
• Explore texture, rhythm, and composition inspired by the coast
• Connect with like-minded creatives

The cost includes all materials.
