This Mindfulness workshop is for anyone that needs to gain better control over their busy life.
During this interactive session, you will gain practical skills that can help you to benefit in your day-to-day life. You will learn how mindfulness can help you to gain clarity, boundaries and to manage stress. The type of questions we will be asking ourselves on the day are; How does stress show up for you? How do you set boundaries? How do you switch off from 24/7?
Research shows that mindfulness can help with stress, anxiety, medical conditions and general well being giving us the space needed to become more resilient, compassionate and creative allowing us to respond rather than react to the stressors of our over busy 24/7 lives.
We would love you to join us for this session at Wattle & Daub.
During the workshop, there will be two short meditations. Plus, there will be time for questions. Prices includes refreshments and cake.

From January 2019, each Thursday we will be opening up our Tudor lodge to become a co-working space, not for profit.
A space where you can bring your laptop and notebook and work with others. As a creative, a freelancer or someone running an independent business you will spend a lot of time working on your own. Our co-working Thursdays are for all those individuals that would like a little company while they work, plus to have the opportunity to share their ideas, or seek collaboration opportunities.
We hope that by bringing like-minded people together who experience common ground in business, there will be an opportunity for mentoring, skill swapping and just general chit-chat, plus even some new friendships may be formed too.
We will also aim to run short business workshops and talks on the 3rd Thursday of each month. We will shortly advertise the topics we intend to cover over the coming months.
Stay for as long or as little as you would like. We will have an honesty box for teas and coffees and cake (when I have had time to bake, but if not we have some gorgeous independent establishments close by, such as Thyme for Tea and Godalming Deli).
Places are limited to 6 people at any one time, so we would ask that you reserve your place here. However, if you do forget to reserve, just pop along and hopefully we can find a spare seat.

This workshop includes: 2 hours of instruction and troubleshooting / 1 pen holder / 1 Nikko G nib / 1 jar of Higgins Eternal black ink / 1 instruction booklet with guidelines and practice paper / Light refreshments.
Workshops are also intentionally small to allow for plenty of one-on-one instruction.

A short painting & drawing course - 3 x workshop sessions, 2nd, 9th & 16th March.
10am - 12pm. by Charlie Betts.
Related to Charlie’s work at the Watts Gallery as Artist in Residence with Anna Garrett, working in the surrounding woodland of the gallery and thinking about it’s history. Mary Watts was an influential artist and figure in the arts and crafts movement, she was also very active in the local women’s suffrage movement. One of her contemporaries was Gertrude Jeykll the renowned garden designer and artist. Both women were highly successful 19th century creative women. Both women had an affinity with nature, plants, flora and the landscape. This has lead me to explore these areas in greater depth in particular focusing on links and associations between women and plants and their properties, trees, flowers and nature.
The series of 3 workshops will explore different aspects of this area: the historical context of art, flowers, nature and notions of femininity; the properties of plants, alchemy, magic, healing, wellbeing and folklore and; a contemporary take - looking at how and why artists work with nature and flowers now with examples of powerful works by the likes of Joan Mitchell. Throughout the workshops a wide range of artists would be introduced, whilst techniques in sketching and painting, colour and the significance of colour and composition would be explored.
3 x workshops each 2 hours long. Each workshop will be a mixture of discussion around the themes and relevant artists and experimental drawing and painting.
