The Glasshouse, Chiddingfold, Surrey.
Come and spend the day with Louisa and Nicola in this magical setting at a time when spring flowers will be in full bloom.
There will be a short tour of Louisa Henriques's stunning garden then you will spend time painting in her wonderful glasshouse under the guidance of artist Nicola Watters. We will be painting in watercolour and the theme will primarily be floral, inspired by spring flowers found in Louisa's garden.
All abilities are very welcome!

Testimonials
"Nicola's workshops are my little piece of heaven."
- Pat, February 2024
"The last workshop at Elcot was fabulous. So many adjectives come to mind - personal, fun, knowledgeable, friendly, laughter, professional...I could go on! A group of strangers quickly became friends and we had such a rewarding time. Nicola, you are a fabulous teacher and artist."
- Liz, October 2023
"I loved every minute of the retreat. It has given me so much confidence to try and continue painting. I have set up a little painting corner in my spare bedroom and hopefully this will keep me engaged to do more."
- Melanie, March 2023
"Thank you for such a wonderful weekend, we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I really didn't think we would be capable of producing such wonderful pieces. You really have inspired us to keep on painting and given us the confidence, so, thank you."
