MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP
OUR NEXT MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP IS ON sATURDAY jUNE 7th 2025
Would you like to have a go at painting in miniature?
For the past few years the Hilliard Society has offered the unique opportunity to take part in a full day’s Miniature Painting Workshop. The intention of the workshop is to introduce the technique of miniature painting to beginners as well as helping artists who may already have some experience but would like to brush up on their skills or try out new ideas. We will have experienced, award-winning miniaturists on hand to tutor, including this year Michael Coe, Linda Kracht and Claudia Haesen.
Our next Miniature Painting Workshop will take place on Saturday June 7th 2025 from 10.00am – 4.00pm in the Town Hall, Wells. The fee for the whole day is £50 which will include complimentary tea and coffee and the opportunity to have one free entry (subject to selection) into the following year’s annual exhibition. There is also time to have a look around this year's exhibition in the main Hall.
A miniature painting can be worked on any media and in any medium - bearing in mind that a smooth surface is required to execute the miniature techniques of fine detail and brushwork. It should be of good composition and tonal balance when viewed from a distance and, by virtue of its detail and fine execution, should stand up to close inspection. Mounts should be accurately cut and frames of high quality and not overwhelming.
Places will be limited so early booking is advisable. To reserve a place and for further information please get in touch.
