Hermès: In-person Watercolour Workshop
Art Class
The event was hosted at the stunning St Giles Winborne Estate. We supplied premium materials throughout, including watercolour paints, brushes, cold-pressed paper and presentation folders so the team could take their work and materials home. The workshop began with a warm-up of colourful circles before introducing wet-on-wet techniques that encourage pigment to “bleed” and blend organically. Participants then applied these methods to a series of fish studies and simple figures, producing a collection of vibrant artworks they felt proud to share.
In response to the fashion brand’s annual theme, we designed a bespoke watercolour session celebrating the joy of surprise and the creative potential of the unexpected. A tailored lesson plan balanced accessibility with enough challenge to keep the experience rewarding, while still delivering striking results for participants.
To extend the experience beyond the session, we created a private online gallery so the Hermès team could revisit their work and share it with friends and family.
