Turn your creativity into unique handmade products while developing your
artistic skills. This practical and inspiring course is ideal for anyone who
enjoys being creative and would like to explore producing artwork for gifts,
craft fairs or small-scale selling opportunities.
You'll experiment with a range
of accessible techniques, including watercolour painting, collage, monoprinting
and simple polystyrene printmaking, to create original greetings cards and A4
artwork. Working from observation and your own photographs, you'll develop
designs inspired by local landscapes, the changing autumn season, Christmas, or
your own hobbies and interests.
Throughout the course, you'll
build confidence in using colour, texture and composition, explore your own
creative style, and produce a collection of handmade prints, cards and artwork
suitable for personal use, gifting or display.
