Spring/Summer Workshops 2025
Get creative and have a go at a wide range of art techniques. You’ll be guided by experienced artists, develop new skills, and learn new ways of thinking to inspire your creative process. Our workshops are relaxed and informal, perfect solo, with friends, or as a gift.
Immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance of our cafe’s beautiful courtyard as we invite you to experience the soothing art of Tai Chi. Our classes offer a unique opportunity to connect with your mind, body, and spirit while enjoying the fresh air and natural surroundings.
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art characterized by slow, graceful movements and deep, focused breathing. Often described as “meditation in motion,” it promotes relaxation, balance, and harmony, making it an ideal practice for people of all ages and fitness levels.
