Reflecting on Our Mindful Watercolour Workshop Series with Andrea Selley
We recently welcomed local artist Andrea Selley to lead a beautiful three-part series of mindful, nature-themed watercolour workshops for adults—an inspiring addition to our Culture in the Market Square programme.
These gentle, creative sessions offered participants a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and explore the soothing process of painting, all in a relaxed and supportive environment. No previous experience was required—just a willingness to be present and creative.
What the Workshops Offered:
- 🎨 Guided watercolour exercises inspired by the natural world
- 🧘 Mindfulness techniques woven into each session to support calm and focus
- 🖌️ All materials provided—participants simply brought themselves
- 🤗 A warm, inclusive space where adults of all skill levels felt welcome
Held over three weeks, the workshops built progressively, allowing attendees to develop both artistic confidence and a deeper connection to the themes of nature and mindfulness.
The series was completely free to attend, with limited spaces that filled quickly—highlighting the local appetite for creative, restorative experiences like this one.
We’re incredibly grateful to Andrea for her thoughtful facilitation and to everyone who joined us. Stay tuned for future workshops and events—there’s more creativity to come in Kirkham’s Market Square!
