THIS July, Stroud Arts is hosting two lovely workshops run by Cotswold artist Alison Vickery. The classes are suitable for both beginners and those with more experience.

Starting at Stroud's Museum in the Park, participants will enjoy a relaxed day of painting and drawing in the Walled Garden on July 8 from 10am-4pm. The workshop is about developing new skills, inspiring budding artists to do more, and most importantly about having fun. Contact Pegasus Art to book.

Then a two-day workshop will begin on July 20, all about sketching with inks and watercolours. The wonderful views and gardens of Hawkeswood College offer a wealth of inspiration. To book, please contact the college.
