It was wonderful to see Rowan return to where her artistic journey began, sharing her creativity, expertise and experiences with our aspiring artists. Her workshops were both inspiring and engaging, giving students a unique insight into life as a working artist.

A huge thank you to Rowan for giving her time and inspiring the next generation of creatives. We loved having you back and hope to welcome you again soon! Rowan Melling Art
