Even though our trip was run by ourselves your staff were always there at the right time and had a lovely way with the children. All of the facilities were fantastic and the kids (and staff) had an amazing time.

It is, quite simply, the best trip I’ve been on since becoming a teacher and I have recommended it to everyone who will listen! I am now just trying to find an excuse to come back before next academic year!”

Book Now for 2012:

Fri 25th May, Fri 27th July and Fri 17th August

One day Watercolour Workshops with Peter Welton

The Yurt, Ulverscroft Manor,

Priory Lane,

Ulverscroft Leics LE67 9PH

If you have never painted in a YURT before now is the time to try it!

A yurt is a tent/marquee-like structure built of pre-fabricated steam-bent wooden poles and covered with a waterproof fabric. The whole thing is topped with large acrylic circular window and the spacious interior is very well lit. A wood-burning stove completes the facilities. It is based on a Central Asia Nomadic Tent and I just fell in love with it. This will be my third year of one-day workshops in it and you could not ask for a better venue.

We can take a maximum of 15 people/artists/would-be artists so please book early if you would like to join me.

These amazing experiences run from 10am till 4pm.

The cost will be £60.00 a head.

Your £60.00 will entitle you to coffee on arrival, excellent 2 course lunch with a glass of wine and tea or coffee with cake on departure. All materials will be provided for those of you without any. And of course, the teaching!

On these workshops I treat everybody as if they are beginners and devote the large part of the morning session to techniques. You do not need any experience in watercolour painting to enroll and I love working with absolute beginners. We all learn a lot from each other.

Let me know if you are interested in joining us by emailing peterwelton@peterwelton.com. I will give you more information about getting there and so on. I promise you an exciting and memorable day.

I look forward to hearing from you
