Waxed Paper Nasturtiums
Using real flowers and leaves to make templates to create lifelike flowers from waxed paper has a long tradition, dating back to Victorian times. The craft was linked to the fascination with botany and nature and creating realistic flowers to decorate your home was a popular past time.
Using crepe paper, wires, and wax, you will create your own nasturtiums, complete with leaves. Unlike fresh flowers, these will last for years to come.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced artists.
A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.

Creative Paste Papers
These beautiful and unusual decorative papers, popular from the 17th century, are used for book-binding, covering boxes and collage. Making them is fast, fun and free, whether you are an experienced artist or new to the arts.
Wheat paste is mixed with pigments and swiftly brushed onto wet paper; then the creativity begins: wooden scrapers, tools, found objects, grouters, combs and fingers can all be deployed to make a riot of swirls and graphic patterns, or neat geometric or floral designs.
When your papers have dried we will use them to make a simple single or double concertina note/sketchbook. No sewing involved, just folding and glueing. Your papers can be used for both covering and endpapers or you can make a booklet show-casing your different patterns.
This workshop is suitable for all experience levels.
A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.
