Get ready to decorate your Christmas tree with these hand painted festive foliage baubles. Sarah Lee, aka The Crafty Boater, will start the workshop with a short introduction to folk art painting and the tools you will be using. This will be followed by a demonstration of the brush strokes needed to complete the designs and some time using pre-printed designs to practise. You will then go through each design step by step with the tutor to complete a wreath design and a spray of mistletoe. If there is time, there will be other designs to try.
This workshop is beginner friendly, so no previous knowledge of folk art painting is necessary. However, it is also a next step if you have already completed a Folk Art workshop.
The session aims to provide a fun, festive and relaxed way to learn the basic techniques of folk art painting. All materials and equipment included. The cost is £ and tickets are booked by messaging Helen at The Makery or by email to [email protected]
