What Can I Expect
Get creative in a stunning setting on these craft
courses in Yorkshire! Home for the Uncles Creative Workshop is a
renovated farmhouse in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National
Park. With collie dogs running around the courtyard and sheep
grazing in the fields of the beautiful Walden Valley right outside
the door, we can't think of a better place to get your artistic
juices flowing!
These crafty workshops are the brainchild of Art teacher Katherine
Ralph. She and her husband decided to escape the rat-race and
settle in the traditional farming community of Burton-sum-Walden
near Wensleydale. A lovely bespoke workshop was built and Uncles
Workshop was born.
What is utterly delightful about these creative workshops and craft
courses is that it has an artist's retreat kind of feel to it all.
It's all very relaxed, with a proper North Yorkshire welcome
guaranteed (the kettle is always on for tea!), time to chat and
teaching that's very much undertaken at your pace.
The workshop itself is light and airy, with those stunning
Yorkshire Dales views framed like landscape paintings by the
windows. It's all designed to be inspiring and it certainly
succeeds. Even if you haven't sat down and tried anything remotely
artistic since your school days, these courses are stimulating and
very much encourage expressiveness and originality.
Batik, glass fusing, litho printing, wood block carving and etching
are all on the programme at this art centre. Many of these artistic
methods are centuries old and still use the traditional tools, yet
even today they produce startlingly vibrant results that will
really impress you.
We think these classes are quite possibly one the best arty things
to do in the Yorkshire Dales, so it's of little surprise that these
one day courses very often sell out well in advance, so be sure to
get booked in for your workshop of choice as soon as you can. Class
sizes are kept small, to maintain the friendly approach to the
teaching and everything you need is provided for you, right down to
a lovely lunch with many of the ingredients coming straight from
the farm. All you have to bring to these craft courses in Yorkshire
is yourself.
