Workshops
Join local artist Rose-Marie MJ for an inspiring gouache workshop where you’ll learn her essential techniques to capture the charm of a much-loved chaffinch perched gracefully on a cherry blossom tree. This hands-on experience invites you to unleash your creativity, try a new medium, explore painting techniques, connect with other creative individuals, and bring nature to life on canvas. Perfect for beginners and those with a little experience, no previous art knowledge or skills are needed!
Rose will guide you step-by-step, from the initial sketching to the gouache techniques needed to capture delicate feathers and soft blossoms. With assistance at every stage, Rose will provide a breakdown of each part, encouraging you to paint confidently and effortlessly while enjoying the therapeutic benefits that come with creating art.
All materials are provided, so there’s no need to bring anything on the day. Booking is required.
An additional parking charge of £4 applies in the Tinkley Gate car park. The workshop runs from 11 am to 4 pm, with a 30-45 minute lunch break in the middle and regular short breaks throughout the session (at some points, we’ll need to let the paint dry!). There will also be opportunities to grab a quick coffee and snack in the café.

Embark on a gentle walkabout through our picturesque village of Uley with Rose-Marie MJ to sketch the landscape, wonderful architecture and the unique, quirky elements that make Uley such a distinctive and special location. This is a short, self-led workshop so you’ll have plenty opportunity to capture the beauty of this unique area at your own pace but with gentle guidance from Rose should you need a helping hand on your mark-making.
Whether you’re seeking a moment of mindfulness, aiming to build your sketching skills, or simply wishing to explore something new, you’ll enjoy the freedom to observe, imagine, and express yourself creatively.
