About this Event
In this one-day taster session, participants will immerse themselves in the traditional art form, learning how to transfer intricate patterns, craft paints using a glass muller, and work with gouache.
Suitable for all levels, this experience also provides a calming, therapeutic outlet through creativity.
All materials will be provided, so you can focus entirely on the art-making process.
Key Events Include:
- Painting Exploration using Gouache

By the end of the session, students will have completed a fully transferred and painted pattern design, incorporating gouache and imitation gold. Additionally, participants will take home a handmade sample of the paint they created on the day using the glass muller and paint-making technique.
The workshop will be held in the Activity Room at the Sheffield Millennium Gallery, see you then!
