Folk art courses in Audlem this Spring and Summer

Fancy learning to paint the traditional folk art of the canals? Anne Luard and Jane Marshall have been operating their popular 'Roses & Castles' canal painting workshop weekends since 1997. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced painter looking for a refresher, you can be assured of a warm welcome and expert tuition. All paints, brushes and practise boards are supplied but guests are encouraged to bring along an item such as a water can or bowl in a gloss base colour ready for decoration.

By the end of the first day you will have worked out a suitable layout for your item and have the leaves and bases of the roses completed. Also the background for the castle will be in place. On the second day you will finish the roses and castles – practising on the boards first. If time permits you can try lining out, graining and lettering.

There are courses in Audlem at the Old Stables, Bottom Lock on 8th/9th April; on 6th/7th May and on 1st/2nd July.

Course fees are £60.00 per person which includes lunch on both days and sundry refreshments. Bed & Breakfast accommodation can be arranged locally if required at extra cost – please enquire for details – call 01625 614845 or email Anne at anneluard@calara.co.uk">anneluard@calara.co.uk or Jane at jane@day-star-theatre.co.uk">jane@day-star-theatre.co.uk
