A Paint & PRINT workshop with karen Carter

Tuesday 24 September 2024 – 10am to 1pm – ÂŁ40

This workshop is suitable for adults.

A fun workshop creating lively and colourful images using gel-plate printing, simple line monoprinting techniques, a splash of paint and a bit of spattering!

We will use leaves, seedheads and flowers as our inspiration – and also to print with, to make a lovely folded book from a single sheet of paper.

The techniques we use are also perfect for making mini works of art or greetings cards.

A relaxed creative workshop – no experience necessary (and you don’t need to be able to draw!)

There will be lots of demos & step-by-step instruction in this fun and informal workshop.

  • Watercolour paper or mixed media paper or heavy cartridge (approx. 200gsm)
