Phil Speight is one of the last craftspeople teaching the deep traditional skills of canal painting. In this friendly weekend course at his Bollington workshop, he shows you that there's more than one kind of canal rose.

It's perfect for all enthusiasts wanting to know more about the deep traditions of canal folk art, the painted roses of different English regions and different arrangements of flower and foliage. Expert guidance and lively company. Don't be put off if you are a beginner - but you'll particularly enjoy this course if you've already attended one of our courses.
