Join James Murch for an inspiring morning of creative freedom at Cockington Court, with the flexibility to work indoors or outdoors depending on your preference—and the weather. This gathering is designed for artists of all levels who enjoy the autonomy to create in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Choose Your Space:
Participants have the option to work in the comfort of the studio, where still life setups, including flowers, will be available, or venture into the beautiful grounds of Cockington Court to draw inspiration from the natural surroundings. Whether you prefer the tranquility of the lakes, the vibrant rose garden, the open cricket green, or the surrounding woodland, you’re free to explore and create wherever you feel most inspired.

Bring Your Own Projects:
You’re encouraged to bring any ongoing projects or materials you’d like to work with. Whether you’re painting, drawing, or sketching, this session offers the perfect setting to focus on your art in your own way.

Supportive Environment:
While there is no formal lesson, guidance and feedback will be available throughout the session. James will move between the studio and the outdoor locations, offering tips and encouragement as needed, ensuring you have the support you need to explore your artistic process.

For Beginners:
If you’re just starting and unsure of what to bring, don’t worry! Just bring yourself, and James will provide all the basics to help you get started. This way, you can focus on enjoying the creative process without any stress.

Post-Session Gathering:
Around 12:30 PM, we’ll gather back at the studio for refreshments, providing an opportunity to share your work, exchange ideas, and enjoy a relaxed conversation with fellow participants.

Additional Information:

• Easels and Chairs: Limited supply available at the studio.
• Refreshments: Provided after the session at the studio.
• Weather: Please come prepared for all weather conditions. If the weather is unfavourable, you can work indoors in the studio, focusing on still life or other subjects.

Join James for a morning of creativity, inspiration, and artistic freedom, whether indoors or outdoors, at Cockington Court!
