Spend Saturday morning with Angie Lewin, who will be in conversation with writer and journalist Jan Patience, surrounded by the new watercolours in Cultivated Colour. Angie and Jan will talk about the making of this ambitious new body of work, from the flowers she grows in her Scottish hillside garden to the native plants found along nearby riverbanks and woodland tracks. Dahlias, parrot tulips, agapanthus and pelargoniums mingle with ceramics, decorative papers and wildflowers in paintings alive with colour and pattern. Hear directly from Angie about gardening, drawing, collecting and painting, and how the changing seasons continue to feed her work.
