Looking for a way to keep cool from the summer heat?

Join us at Lady Bay Arts’ Beat the Heat Workshops!

These exciting sessions are designed to spark your imagination and bring joy in creativity. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned maker, you'll find something inspiring in our hands-on workshops.

What’s on offer?

Each workshop features three talented artists, offering a choice of creative activities. You’ll get to pick one to immerse yourself in:

• Drawing with Sarah Reed – Explore your inner artist with expert guidance.

• Create semi-abstract drawings with Nicholas Wright – Collaboratively contribute to some large drawings inspired by the Hook. This will include a nature walk to observe and sketch, and an introduction to making semi abstract work using line and watercolour.

• Imaginary creatures with Jane Bevan - By tying and fixing together a variety of natural materials, such as leaves, pine needles, and poppy seed heads, we will make imaginary creatures to take home, full of character and humour.

Each session is designed to give you the time, space, and tools to learn new skills or refine existing ones while connecting with others in a warm, welcoming environment.
