Workshops

A creative day out with Artist Sarah Macdonald

Join me for a relaxing and inspiring walk, sketch, and paint experience in the very West of Penwith. This one-day session is designed to help you connect with the stunning Cornish landscape and develop your artistic skills in a fun and welcoming environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, you will leave feeling refreshed and creatively inspired.


Our day begins at Wild West Works Studio & Gallery in St Just before we set off on a guided walk along the stunning valleys and coastline of West Penwith. Over the course of two to three hours, you’ll have the opportunity to capture the landscape through quick, expressive sketches, focusing on the details that inspire you and experimenting with creative ways to convey them.

Afterward, we’ll return to Wild West Works, where you can develop your ideas further using a variety of materials on canvas or board. With my guidance (if wanted), you’ll be free to explore different artistic techniques in a relaxed and supportive environment.

With all materials provided, this experience is perfect for those traveling light.

Bad Weather? No Problem!

If the weather is not suitable for walking, we will still have a fun and engaging session indoors. I will guide you through creative warm-up exercises and playful artistic challenges to help loosen up creative tension—so you will be ready when the sun does shine.
