The sun is shining; the birds are singing; the painters, painting; the knitters, knitting. Yes, The Watermill 2022 creative season is now well under way. And to add to the celebrations, above is a wonderful oil by Watermill tutor Paul Talbot-Greaves to assure us that spring is really here.
It is a great introduction to our regular Sunday update on the availability of this year’s creative courses – painting, creative writing, knitting and Italian language. We are happy to report that after two years of Covid constriction we are now fully operational – and having a wonderful time!
Many of our courses are pretty full, but we do have spaces, and we would love to welcome you. You’ll see some of our courses are litsted as being fully booked, but don’t despair, if there is a tutor or a weekyou really like, let us know via the Watermill Contact Form by clicking here: there are often cancellations and will put you on a waiting list and let you know as soon as there is a space.
