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.
