All the workshops will take their inspiration from the beautiful surroundings, especially the river and woodland, and some will involve exploring the outdoors before making a piece of artwork. Each workshop is led by one of Hampshire Art Studio’s highly professional and talented tutors. Hampshire Art Studio’s co-owner Clare Dryden: “These 2 weeks are a marvellous opportunity for people to try out something creative, whatever their experience. Here at Hampshire Art Studio we have a passion for bringing out pre-conceived ideas they might have about ‘not being creative’. We love how people flourish and bloom when they discover a new interest or improve existing skills.” For more information about Explore, Discover, Create Summer workshops visit: www. hampsh i r ear t . s tud i o and click on August Workshops.
