Still Life Sunday – October 11th 2026 at Winterbourne House & Gardens

mixed media still life  work by © Claire Leggett

Join me for a relaxing Sunday exploring different ways to use and manipulate materials when responding to a still life set up. This still life can be as large or small as you wish – a lemon on a plate is a still life!

I’ll guide you to get playful with a wide range of materials, and try out techniques such as bright underpainting, using collage, wax resist, and unusual tools to apply paint with.

This workshop is suitable for all abilities. I will demonstrate the techniques and options open to you and guide you individually as you wish. Beginners will be well supported, and experienced artists can enjoy new ways of working and experimenting with new challenges as they wish. The foundation of my classes is to always enjoy being creative.

All you will need to bring is a couple of sheets of A3 paper. The still life set and a wide range of materials in basic colours will be provided, although you are welcome to supplement these with your own materials if you wish.

Day class costs £71.50 – please book directly through the Winterbourne website here.
