You will have the option of using a variety of paints, including watercolour, gouache, acrylic and wood stain. You will learn about the properties of all of them and the order you want to use them.

We will go over how to apply 3-D objects with the best type of glue for the job and how to seal your work if necessary. Mixed media explorations can be used to create a new vocabuary for your artwork if you already have a practice or send you in the right direction with some foundtional skills if you are just starting out. If you choose to use the woodburning tool we will go over the difference between the wood burning tools that are available and how to incorporate the technique into mixed media work. Feel free to bring your own reference material to trace or draw from or use templates provided. Some people freehand and just go for it and some people use reference material and trace their design. You can also do a bit of both:) Magically everyone does something totally different and unique to them! It's a fun thing to do for a date night or a new activity with friends or family. There are only 4 people maximum in a class, ages 12 and up. If you would like to book an evening with your younger kids check out my website:)
