Finding Your Colour Voice - SHEFFIELD - Jun 2025

This weekend workshop is one of a series taking place at venues around the UK. All events have the same aim: to explore and strengthen personal experience of colour, both as an art medium and as a way of living in the moment.

Structured using the same principles, methods and mindsets, each date and location will offer something different to participants. Tangible and transient sources of inspiration will vary as the workshop moves from place to place. Local stories, artefacts, and vernacular environments will change, as will class dynamics, seasonal light and weather. Suitable for all levels of experience and ability.

DATE: Sat 28th & Sun 29th June 2025.
TIME: 10am - 4pm each day.
VENUE: Sheffield Design Studios, Lion Works, 40 Ball St, Sheffield, S3 8DB, UK.

WORKSHOP FOCUS: Immersive watercolour. This is a studio-based workshop during which you will learn to make and use watercolour paint in an attentive and mindful manner.

Day 1 will focus on the technicalities of making, mixing and applying watercolour.

Day 2 will be all about luxuriating in the slow art of watercolour painting, guided by your personal response to colour, sound, and sensations as they occur, in the deeply relaxing environment of Tansy’s riverside studio.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Watercolour paint making. Mark making with watercolour paint and a range of traditional and novel brushes. Mindful watercolour painting.

Art supplies and light refreshments will be provided. Please bring your own lunch (a café or supermarket is walking distance from all venues).

Supper at a restaurant in Kelham Island on the Saturday evening will be optional (not included in the workshop price). Tansy will communicate with you via email about this sociable extra nearer the time.
