Slow down, look closer, and discover the extraordinary details hidden in the natural world around us.
Set within the beautiful grounds of Insole Court, this much-loved workshop invites young artists to spend most of the day outdoors, exploring, observing and creating. Armed with sketchbooks, pencils and curiosity, artists will collect inspiration directly from nature as they learn how to record their discoveries through drawing, painting and printmaking.
Throughout the day, we will experiment with a variety of nature-inspired techniques, including Hapa Zome (the Japanese art of flower and leaf printing), creating our own drawing tools and paintbrushes from natural materials, and learning how to capture colour, texture and movement in a sketchbook. We’ll take time to sit beneath the trees, listen to birdsong, notice the changing light and appreciate the small details that are so often overlooked.
This workshop is about more than simply drawing what we see. It’s about developing observation skills, connecting with nature, building confidence in sketchbook work and finding joy in the creative process.
Artists will return home with a sketchbook bursting with guided projects, experiments, prints, sketches and ideas, along with new techniques and a fresh appreciation for the world around them.
A perfect workshop for curious minds, nature lovers and anyone who enjoys creating outdoors.
Where will the workshops take place?
At the Beth Morris Workshops studio, The Dairy in the grounds of Insole Court, Cardiff. The children will create outside in the grounds of Insole Court and together around a large table.
Do they need a packed lunch and snacks?
Yes, they can sit in the workspace outside the studio, and in drier weather on the immediate paved /grassed area by the window. The tutor will be setting up for the next task at lunch so your child will need to be able to entertain themselves and chat with new friends. We cannot allow children to visit the cafe area if they are left in our care, so please supply a packed lunch, and drinks. You could also pick your child up at lunch time if you’d prefer.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Of course. If you are booking more than one child in the same household (siblings) onto a course please use the code WEAREFAMILY to take 10% off your overall in-person workshop booking. Please don’t use the code unless you are booking for siblings though. This is not a code for parents to book 2 friends on. It’s to support families with more than one child attending 😊 This code is only for children’s holiday workshops.
Do I have to adhere to the age guidelines when booking?
Yes please. I have years of teaching experience and I am the Mum of three, so I set the age limits for a reason. The tasks are age appropriate and the children / young people should all feel comfortable with their peers.
My child has additional learning needs - Is the workshop suitable?
We can not offer 1:1 support unfortunately, but if they can work semi-independently with 14 peers, they will love our fun inclusive and relaxed workshops. The tutor will make sure they understand the tasks and support them within the session. On booking, please email info@bethmorrisworkshops.co.uk with any extra information that will help us support your child so we can be fully prepared. You know your child best so please talk to us so we can help.
Does my child need to bring any materials or art supplies?
No, all materials are included in the price of the workshop, just don’t wear your best clothes!
