SUMMARY:Summer Flowers Watercolour Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join me for a relaxed\, creative afternoon of painting your dream landscape! \nCelebrate the vibrancy of summer with your watercolours in this relaxed and creative Summer Flowers Watercolour Workshop. After running four fully booked flower workshops last year\, this session is expected to fill up quickly\, so early booking is recommended! \nYou’ll explore the colours\, shapes\, and textures of flowers in full bloom\, learning how to capture their beauty in a painting that feels alive and joyful. We’ll cover watercolour techniques for petals\, leaves\, stems\, and light\, along with tips on composition and colour mixing\, giving you the confidence to create a floral scene in your own style — whether loose and expressive or more detailed. \nFresh flowers and reference images will be on the table for inspiration\, and you can choose to paint a single bloom\, a few flowers\, or a whole bouquet — the choice is entirely yours! I’ll be there to offer as much or as little guidance as you’d like\, supporting you every step of the way. \nThis beginner-friendly\, low-pressure workshop is all about enjoyment and experimentation rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session\, you’ll leave with your own summer floral painting to frame\, gift\, or keep\, along with an Introduction to Watercolour booklet to help you continue your painting at home. \nWe’ll have exclusive use of The Waverley’s spacious main upstairs room\, and your ticket includes a complimentary drink of your choice. \nAll materials are provided (or you’re welcome to bring your own)\, and no prior drawing experience is needed — just curiosity\, a love of flowers\, and a willingness to experiment!

SUMMARY:The Power of the Particular: Brief Lives Creative Writing Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chippenham Museum Creative Writing Group for a series of linked workshops celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of local antiquarian and famous biographer\, John Aubrey. The workshops will be led by Lesley Taylor\, an experienced facilitator\, and will draw inspiration from Aubrey’s work and the museum’s summer exhibition. \nBorn in Kington St Michael in 1626\, Aubrey was a biographer\, archaeologist\, scientist\, naturalist\, and oral historian. He valued the minutiae of everyday life\, and his writing is rich with specific (and often witty) details that bring the past to life. \nDrawing on his most well-known work\, Brief Lives – written portraits of key figures of his day – the workshops will explore how to write with greater detail. Sessions will provide an opportunity to develop the skill of telling your own stories with clarity\, experimenting with a range of forms including flash fiction\, memoir\, poetry\, and creative non-fiction. \nSuitable for beginners and experienced writers alike\, this series of monthly workshops will culminate in An Evening with Aubrey at the museum\, where participants’ work will be shared and celebrated. The date for this celebratory event is to be confirmed. \nEach session costs £5 per person. Spaces are limited\, so booking is essential. Please contact the museum to reserve your place. \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here.

SUMMARY:Homes & Gardens Watercolour Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Take a break from the everyday and enjoy painting cosy homes and beautiful gardens in watercolour. In this relaxed\, therapeutic workshop\, you’ll have the freedom to paint a scene that combines buildings and nature — whether that’s a charming house\, a garden view\, or a favourite place where the two meet. \nYou might choose to paint cottages\, townhouses\, or garden buildings alongside flowers\, leafy borders\, winding paths\, fences\, pots\, benches\, and sun-dappled trees. Whether it’s your own home or garden\, a place you love to visit\, or a scene from your imagination\, you’ll be gently guided to create a painting that captures the mood and character of that space. \nWe’ll explore easy\, approachable watercolour techniques for buildings\, foliage\, flowers\, and textures\, with supportive guidance on composition\, colour\, and capturing light. You’re welcome to work in a loose\, expressive way or take a more detailed approach — this workshop is about finding what feels right for you. \nThis session is beginner-friendly and low-pressure\, designed to encourage enjoyment and experimentation rather than technical perfection. By the end of the workshop\, you’ll have created your own watercolour painting to frame\, gift\, or keep as a personal memento\, along with an Introduction to Watercolour booklet to help you continue painting at home. \nWe’ll have exclusive use of The Waverley’s spacious main upstairs room\, and a complimentary drink of your choice is included in your ticket. \nAll materials are provided (or feel free to bring your own favourites). No prior experience is needed — just curiosity\, a love of homes and gardens\, and a willingness to have a go!

SUMMARY:The Power of the Particular: Brief Lives Creative Writing Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chippenham Museum Creative Writing Group for a series of linked workshops celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of local antiquarian and famous biographer\, John Aubrey. The workshops will be led by Lesley Taylor\, an experienced facilitator\, and will draw inspiration from Aubrey’s work and the museum’s summer exhibition. \nBorn in Kington St Michael in 1626\, Aubrey was a biographer\, archaeologist\, scientist\, naturalist\, and oral historian. He valued the minutiae of everyday life\, and his writing is rich with specific (and often witty) details that bring the past to life. \nDrawing on his most well-known work\, Brief Lives – written portraits of key figures of his day – the workshops will explore how to write with greater detail. Sessions will provide an opportunity to develop the skill of telling your own stories with clarity\, experimenting with a range of forms including flash fiction\, memoir\, poetry\, and creative non-fiction. \nSuitable for beginners and experienced writers alike\, this series of monthly workshops will culminate in An Evening with Aubrey at the museum\, where participants’ work will be shared and celebrated. The date for this celebratory event is to be confirmed. \nEach session costs £5 per person. Spaces are limited\, so booking is essential. Please contact the museum to reserve your place. \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here.
