About this event

Join us for an evening discovering strong bold palettes and contemporary colourblocking. Design and create your own masterpiece on canvas with acrylic paints and bold statement colours.

Your ticket includes private access to Turner’s House and garden and sketching materials; please feel free to bring any other mediums you wish to work in.

Tea, coffee and refreshements will be provided.

All levels and abilities welcome, ground floor accessible.
