Monotype in the Garden

Absolutley not! Jules is happy to work with you, whatever your experience. The key thing is to come prepared to try new things.

Yes, there are.

From the north, south and east, Melrose is 2.3 miles from the roundabout of the A68. From there, take the exit for Main Street (A6091). From the west, Melrose is 3.9 miles from Galashiels along the A7 and then A6091. Priorwood Garden is located in the town centre of Melrose, next to the abbey ruin.

Yes, you're welcome to do so but there will be an array of materials on hand to try plus paper, drawing boards & clips to use.

We will begin with a short introduction to the garden and the materials we'll be using, followed by warm-up drawing exercises. Then comes time to do explore some printmaking! At the end of the session, we'll briefly gather to review our work.

No, we will have space to work inside in the event of poor weather.
