A watercolour painting holiday at Gartmore House will inspire the artist in you - budding or experienced - and provide the opportunity to improve your skills in relaxed company and comfortable surroundings. Painting projects indoor and outside led by our expert tutor, small classes and personailsed instruction.
Our patchwork and quilting holidays are designed to appeal to both the seasoned and novice quilter. From our studio with its panoramic views, explore two techniques for Card Trick designs: Truly Traditional - a method to construct blocks suitable for panels for bags, cushions or small wall hangings/quilts or Super Speedy - a technique to construct quilts from cot to kingsize.
For 2012 there is a lot of creative fun to be had with our 'Hidden Treasures - Marvelous Medallions'. Using designs based on the tiles in the entrance hall of Gartmore House, your blocks can be incorporated into cushion covers, wall hangings, table toppers, lap quilt or repeated to make a larger quilt or form the centre of a medallion quilt.
Or - try your hand at Reversible Quilts. Fabulous quick and easy reversible quilts of any size, ideal for using fabrics from your stash!. Suitable for all abilities, especially beginners. Choice of designs and techniques. Not to be missed!
Alternatively or additionally, bring along your U.F.O's! (unfinished objects) or WIP's (wok in progress) to work on.
Whatever you choose to do, you will be given lots of helpful friendly advice and encouragement.
