Norfolk Workshops with Marion Barnett

In a tiny village in Norfolk, UK, there is a studio, called the Little
Green Shed, where you can learn all kinds of art techniques with
friendly textile and mixed media artist, Marion Barnett. Every workshop
is tailored specifically to your requirements, and you have three ways
of choosing what to do.

1. You can attend one of the regular monthly Play Days, each with its
own theme (must be prebooked).

2 August : Paper Making
5 September : Monoprinting
3 October : Collage
7 November : Stocking Fillers
