The oldest known wooden spoon in England is a ladle found at Glastonbury Lake Village dating to 250BC. Another notable find of wooden spoons are the personal spoons found on the wreck of the Mary Rose. These spoons may have been whittled by their owners. \nThe course takes place in and around the purpose built oak framed craft barn at Stanwick Lakes which is managed by Rockingham Forest Trust as an environmental charity. \nStanwick Lakes is a protected Nature Reserve and a Wetland of International Importance\, covering 750 acres of open space with seven miles of paths\, a perfect inspiration to crafters and makers. \nDuring your lunchtime you can enjoy the onsite cafés and visit the heritage museum or sit by a lake and watch the wildlife. \nTo get tickets\, visit: Spoon Carving | Stanwick Lakes

SUMMARY:Monthly Watercolours Classes
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nJoin us for an inspiring watercolour class where creativity flows as freely as the paint on your brush! \nEach 2.5-hour session will focus on a different subject and area of emphasis\, ensuring that every class brings something new and exciting to explore. We’ll cover a wide range of practical skills\, from the essential steps of surface preparation to the application of paint\, as well as how to effectively use various tools and mediums. \nThroughout these sessions\, you’ll learn techniques to create washes\, build layers\, add texture\, and refine fine details. Each month\, we’ll draw inspiration from different subjects\, helping you develop a broader range of skills and ideas in your watercolour practice. \nYou’re welcome to dip in and out of these sessions as each is designed to be stand-alone\, or you can choose to book them in a series for a more in-depth experience. In each class\, you will join a relaxed group where new and returning painters create together in a relaxed\, drop-in style session. All levels are welcome\, whether you’re a complete beginner or have been painting for years\, simply introduce yourself to the tutor and get stuck in. There’s always something new to learn and new people to meet!
