Nothing beats the colourful brilliance of pastels but they’re not the easiest medium to use. However you can now enjoy all the beauty of pastel in a convenient, non-messy form. Derwent woodcased Pastel Pencils have a soft, powdery texture which produces a velvety smooth finish, ideal for mixing and blending. And because they’re pencils, they’re clean and easy to control, although you may not be able to resist the occasional smudge with your finger. Recognised for his stunning paintings and for his relaxed and easy way of teaching others, Tony Hogan has been artistically driven from his early childhood in Saltaire, Shipley. He regularly travels the length and breadth of the country giving workshops and demonstrations. His depth of knowledge of techniques and materials in all of the Derwent pencil products provide him with the skills to help and guide others along their artistic paths. Workshops run between 10.30 – 16.30. £40 per person per workshop. A 10% discount is offered for any two or more workshops booked at any one time. All materials for the day’s tuition are included in the cost of the workshop. Paper, pencils, fixing spray, brushes etc., will all be provided per person. You will be working from a tin of 24 pencils, which will give you the opportunity to experiment with light, tone, and texture of the pencils. A lunch break of 45 minutes will happen around 1pm.

Taking place in the most beautiful part of England, we're sure the Koru Challenge will leave you with an amazing sense of accomplishment! We are not going to lie to you, trekking for 48 miles over 24 hours is tough, and will test both you and your teammates mentally and physically. This may well be the longest 24 hrs of your life and at times you will question individually and as a team whether you can complete the route. Each team will need to be physically and mentally prepared to keep on going, to push through boundaries and comfort zones, but we assure you, by working together as a team you will find that anything is possible. Langdale is where teams will register for the event, and also will be the place where each of the 3 challenging stages start and finish. Located in the west end of the Langdale valley easily accessible from Ambleside, this is where the action is! As this is a 24 hr challenge, each team will need a place to rest before and after the event, therefore, camping plots will be available for each team and a whole array of facilities are available such as hot food and snacks, toilets, and a bar (save your cele
