Kara Strachan’s Workshops
Kara’s acrylic workshops run throughout the year in Kara Strachan’s
ground floor Studio Gallery at Curborough Countryside Centre, in a lovely
rural setting on the outskirts of Lichfield, WS13 8ES.
The aim of Kara’s workshops is to encourage those who are beginners
and to guide those who already have skills and want to explore new
techniques with acrylic paint, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
One artist’s quality canvas or board and the use of an upright easel
per person is provided for each workshop, unless otherwise stated. Step by
step demonstration will take place throughout the day and critique and
guidance will be provided.
Tea, coffee and huge slices of delicious cake will be provided for
‘Elevenses’, essential for creativity.

Please contact me if you are struggling with any of the above
equipment as I’m sure I will be able to help. If you have a set of acrylic
paints, please do not go out and buy more as I’m sure we can work with the
equipment you already have.
Places on Kara's workshops will be secured on receipt of full payment when booking. This can be by cheque, bank transfer or cash/credit card in person, or by post. Payments are not refundable but can be transferred with notice of 2 weeks prior to date of workshop.
