Tulip mania: watercolour workshops

Create your very own watercolour of tulips under the guidance of local artist Kate Bates. The workshop will be outdoors in the beautiful garden at Dyrham Park surrounded by tulips. Seating will be provided plus all materials.

  • Booking essential

Kate Bates is based in the village of Dyrham and creates artworks based on a botanical theme, which are inspired by her natural surroundings and love of colour. During the workshop, participants will sketch tulips from direct observation in the garden and then work into them with watercolour and pen to create a final composition to take home. An undercover plan will be ready in case of wet weather. The workshops are aimed at adults and must be booked.
