Come and join us for a fun workshop creating 3D illustrated cards.

You can choose between making a layered card like a tunnel book construction or if you would prefer you could use the tutor's greenhouse template and your imagination, to create a building or story of your choice. You could make a winter greenhouse or shed/fish shack, or a tent.

Use the workshop to extend your knowledge of materials and improve your drawing. We will be using a range of materials - watercolours, dip pens, fine liners, pencils, coloured pencils and ink.

By the end of the session you will have a unique 3D card of your own to give to someone, perhaps for Christmas or for a special occasion.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those who just want to try something new.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Spend a day with us delving into the ever-popular Chinese brush painting.

Chinese birds painting can vary in styles hugely. There is the intricate method of Gongbi painting known as meticulous style, the quick strokes of Shuimo meaning water and ink, or Sheng - yi, translating as life and meaning.

The Sumi Japanese style captures the essence of the subject. The emphasis is placed on varying shade of grey to black and simple composition. Today's course will take both approaches, Chinese Shuimo and Japanese Sumi.

We will start with simple birds in several positions on branches, using black and white Sumi style followed by Shuimo. Our aim is to complete many compositions to choose from for the final design.

Chinese Xuan paper pre-prepared on board complete with hanging hooks will be the medium of choice.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have been on Chinese Brush Painting courses before.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
