Workshops and holidays 2012
Ann's workshops do get booked up very quickly but even so it's worth placing your name on the waiting list as spaces often become available due to cancellations.
Studio Workshops
Ann teaches her own methods of working with pencil and coloured pencil to produce vibrant, detailed botanical drawings. As well as introducing colour pencil techniques the courses encourage accuracy of line and observation. Ann welcomes both the beginner and the more experienced on her courses. Courses tend to get booked up quickly so to secure a place make a provisional booking.
Ann’s studio, set in a delightful walled garden, is in Rowde near the old market town of Devizes in a beautiful part of Wiltshire. If you are interested in attending any workshops there, please contact Ann on 01380 724788 or use our contact form.
You can also download, print and return our registration form if you want to sign up for one of the workshops (please phone first to ensure a place is still available):
