We continue to develop our programme of workshops at Mill Yard Studio Gallery and therefore in response to enquiries we are adding some watercolour workshops.
All of our workshops have a max number of 5 and so individual support and tuition is guaranteed and thus all workshops can accommodate differing levels of experience
A new exhibition titled "Resplendence" commences on the 27th June 2025 at the Mill Yard Studio Gallery located at Cromford Mills. It features work by the resident artists Jenny McKenzie (painter) Jo Spencer (mosaic artist) and Sarah Stone (silversmith). In addition, their are guest artists featured:

A series of paintings inspired by the works of Tolkien...
I had a dream about travelling around Scotland to sketch and paint the beautiful landscape. I fulfilled this dream in March 2023.
The first painting stop was Dunnottar Castle which is near Stonehaven on the East coast just below Aberdeen. I visited this castle briefly in 1999 and always wanted to come back. It is an unusual castle situated on a headland.
The next stage of my journey took me from Stonehaven via Ballater through the Cairngorms to Inverness and then onto Applecross on the west coast.
I left Applecross in the rain and headed north towards Torridon before going south to Lochcarron and then towards Plockton. I tried sketching but the rain was torrential…
I drove down to the Armadale ferry to leave for the mainland.
