Join artist Pandora Butterfield for a day’s painting “En plein air” at Castle Espie Wetlands Centre.
A stunning wetland reserve nestled on the shores of Strangford Lough with wide estuary views, tidal lagoons, marshes and reed beds.
This inspiring environment gives ample opportunity to produce a painting that reflects sky, sea and land and Pandora will be on hand to guide you through the day.
It is recommended you dress for all weathers as you will be outside for most of the day.
