Cowslip on The Helford Workshops
Wednesday 12th June
Wednesday 11th September
Wednesday 13th November
Join us for a brand-new series of workshops during 2024.
During the course you’ll create a beautiful piece of work under the watchful eye of Jo Colwill from Cowslip Workshops, Launceston.
For those who are new to patchwork, quilting and applique this will be an introduction to making a simple strip or row type quilt , possibly with a theme or just a nice collection of fabrics and colour, by cutting 6” wide lengths of fabric and joining in a random way with no matching of seams. This is a gentle introduction to patchwork and piecing. Once you have pieced the fabrics together, you can overlay simple applique, like animals or boats.

Watercolour Painting Break
Working on a seasonal theme and taking inspiration from the beautiful colours and patterns that nature provides. Shari, a Cornwall based artist and tutor, will bring a wealth of visual references and we can also gather inspiration in the wonderful grounds of the Budock Vean estate and the Helford River.
This course would suit those that like wet into wet watercolour and would like to develop their style by experimenting with some different techniques. Shari will provide a materials list beforehand.
Cowslip on The Helford Retreat

During your stay you’ll lose yourself in the beautiful task of creating a quilt under the watchful eye of Jo Colwill.
Suitable for people with all levels of experience, the retreat will see guests using machine piercing with hand applique and covering various techniques that will make each quilt individual.
