Mushroom Paint & Sip
Tipsy Frida is hosting a watercolour paint & sip at three locations for Fungi Feastival.
For these special events, you will be taught a crash course in watercolours, and then have local art teacher Ness there to support to create a unique mushroom field guide. A range of mushroom stencils will be available to trace, as well as advice for how to create effects suited to each mushroom, so that you can create an a4 page of several of your favourite fungi. You can see Tipsy Frida's instagram or facebook event to see examples of how the fungi field guides will turn out!
