Create your own Watercolour Masterpiece

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s Disability Charity, is back for July with another craft club, this time a Watercolours Workshop.

The evening will be hosted by local watercolour artist Lynda Larke, where you’ll learn the techniques of watercolours, as well as create your own masterpiece to take home.

Over the course of the evening Lynda will explain the different techniques of watercolours including dry brushing, layering colours, washes, and using salts.

The workshop is perfect, whether you are a complete beginner, or would like to brush up on your skills. It’s a great opportunity to get together with friends and family, or come along on your own and meet new people.

The event will be held on Tuesday 15th July at The Treehouse in Hurn, and helps to fund arts and crafts sessions for children and adults with physical and learning disabilities across Dorset.

Demi Tarrant, events executive at Diverse Abilities commented: “It’s going to be a really lovely evening. We hosted this event for the first time last year and it sold out really quickly. We had great feedback about what a great time people had, and how much they had learnt during the session. So, we are really looking forward to this session.”

All the materials you need for the evening will be supplied, and attendees are working to bring their own drinks for the evening. Tea and coffee will be available at the venue.

The event is part of an ongoing Craft Club, with a further craft club events planned:

• Lush Pamper Hamper – Wednesday 13th August
• Cowboy Hat Workshop – Tuesday 23rd September

The event takes place at The Treehouse, Merritown Lane, Christchurch, BH23 6DT. Visit diverseabilities.org.uk/daevents/watercolour-workshop to find out more and book your tickets.
