Pause and Paint: Painting Flowers with Hilary Moreton
9 May, 11am-1pm
Inspired by our current exhibition, Handpicked: Painting Flowers from 1900 to Today, we invite visitors to pause for a moment in the Clore Learning Studio and try your hand at painting flowers. Artist Hilary Moreton will be on hand for support and guidance.
All ages are welcome, but these sessions are particularly aimed at inspiring adults to slow down for a moment and pick up a paintbrush. No art experience is needed, our friendly staff and volunteers can support you. If the studio is busy, you may be asked to come back later.
Each flower painting session will be facilitated by a different artist, sharing their own individual style, skill and knowledge through invitations and support.
