This Month’s Workshop: Colour Conversations — A Playful Watercolour Workshop
Colour Conversations is a playful, beginner-friendly watercolour workshop led by artist Mandy Johnson, designed to explore the expressive power of colour in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Known for her vibrant, joyful practice, Mandy invites participants to experiment freely with watercolour through layering, blending, and intuitive mark-making. Guided by gentle prompts, guests will create their own abstract artwork inspired by mood, memory, and imagination — focusing on flow, freedom, and enjoyment rather than perfection.
The workshop is designed as a space to unwind, reconnect with creativity, and explore the emotional language of colour.
Guests will leave with:
- A finished abstract watercolour artwork
- A relaxed and playful creative experience
- A renewed sense of creative confidence
No experience needed — this workshop is open to everyone.
