June is busting out all over with creativity at Flowerfield

THE MONTH of June will be alive with creativity at Flowerfield Arts Centre in Portstewart as the centre gears up for a series of one day workshops.

The workshops are affordably priced, usually run from 10.30am to 4.30pm with a break for lunch, and are often an ideal way to take a first step in a new skill or pastime. The tutors are experienced and friendly, and the surroundings are superb, so why not give it a go?

Floristry tutor Sheila Sortwell provides a ‘Contemporary Summer Flowers’ workshop on Saturday, June 5, with jewellery tutor Julie McLaughlin offering an exciting one day Introduction to Costume Jewellery on Saturday the 12th.

Also on June 12, master artist Julian Friers will be offering a one day masterclass and demonstration on Spring Landscape Painting.

On Tuesday, June 22, there’s a one day workshop on Patchwork and UFOs - unfinished objects - from popular Patchwork tutor Sue Taylor.

There are a choice of two workshops on Saturday, June 26 – Fusing Recycled Glass, with tutor McCall Gilfillan, offers a gentle introduction to the skills required in cutting and fusing hot glass, while Jenna Kirkwood offers a one day Introduction to Origami, the Japanese art of folding paper. In this instance, those taking part will work on a fun project involving the creation of a book.
