What’s included?
A brand new sketchbook. I will show you my personal favourite sketchbook, and give you a brand new one to use throughout the workshop and keep at the end! The sketchbook is worth around €10.
All materials. We will be learning at least 10 mixed media techniques, using various kinds of paint, pens, glue, tape, scissors, specialist papers, and embroidery thread. Use of all these materials during the workshop is included.
Refreshments. Tea, Coffee, Water, and snacks will be served to enjoy during the workshop. The snacks will include gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options.
A toolkit of techniques to take home. Are you worried you will forget all you have learnt as soon as you get home? No stress! I will provide a written toolkit with instructions to take away.
Inspiration. Browse through example sketchbooks and published books to get you inspired and full of ideas!
“Your workshop has really refreshed my feelings about my sketchbook practice. Now I will use my sketchbook to interact and develop a valued relationship around images and the ideas that inspire me. I’m very excited!”
