fully booked

Please note that I am also running a Seaside Watercolour Workshop for adults in the morning. For more information, click below.

Nine miles South-East of Colchester, filled with historic charm, wild scenery and row upon row of pastel-coloured beach huts, you'll find Mersea Island, a beautiful haven considered by many to be one of Essex's best kept secrets...

​

I love Mersea Island; the sand and shingle shoreline, the peaceful atmosphere, the wildness, the sunsets! I even love how high tide covers the strood, the only road on and off the island, twice a day. Something that could easily be considered an inconvenience, I think is wonderful. Nature making us wait; forcing us to slow down, to stop. This, to me, is a thing of beauty and I am so happy to be able to offer workshops here this summer season. 

 

A creative class by the sea for nature-loving children and their grown-ups, with exclusive use of Cool Coastal Huts' new stunning Beach Hut 206 as our base. The perfect place to take a break from the sun, shelter from the rain or simply enjoy many cups of tea! 

 

Exploring the sand, pebbles and seaweed around us, we will make Art in, and often with, Nature. Paint, print, sculpture and more, this seasonal session is age-appropriate, eco-friendly, guided by the weather and inspired fully by Mother Nature - the greatest artist of all! A  fun session as we spend time outside to Connect and Create, taking home a little part of the seaside in the form of your very own works of art.

All art materials and a freshly brewed selection of teas and coffee are included in this workshop.

£25 per child  .  Grown-ups go FREE!

 

About Cool Coastal Huts 

I have returned time and time again to Cool Coastal Huts Mersea beach huts since they first opened. From that first day, I was in love. Johanna, who owns CCH, has a clear and pristine sense of style. The huts are crisp, clean, fresh and simply stunning. Every element has been designed; it has a purpose. The huts have everything you need, and not one thing you don't. Practicality meets beauty, enhanced more by the perfectly framed, craggy landscape in which the huts sit. Johanna has owned and loved beach huts for over sixteen years and her mission is simple, to provide what she loves; the coolest, most stylish, luxury beach huts. Personally, I think she has succeeded!
