Workshops & Retreats 2025
I create my art in response to the coloured earth at my feet and the geological formations around me. I work in tune with the seasons. My paintings begin from a place of free and loose expression before the hand of the gently artist guides the way. My workshops provide the opportunity to learn about natural earth and botanical colour and always have a sense of flow and playfulness at their heart.
Many of my workshops relate to the seasonal shift of the year and occur on dates that signify a period of change as the seasons progress. The sights, sounds and scents of the season as well as the earth itself shall all have their part to play. If you are interested in any of the workshops or retreats please contact me directly by email susannah@susannahcrookart.com
