Join artist Shelley Perry to create your own “landscape in colour” using the same process as the Colour & Coast exhibition. Instead of painting a traditional scene, you’ll translate the colours you see in the landscape outside the window into expressive blocks of colour – using only your hands, no brushes.
This is a relaxed, playful and wonderfully freeing way to paint, focusing on process, colour, and creativity rather than perfection.
£5 per canvas. Booking not required. Suitable for all ages 5+ (all children must be accompanied).
Please note: There are a set number of canvases so the event will finish once run out.

- Observe the colours in the landscape around you
- Mix acrylic paints to match what you see
