Mixed Media Botanicals and Birds

Discover the joy of playful experimentation in this hands-on workshop. You’ll create your own Spring-inspired mixed media image using intuitive painting techniques such as inks and bleach, watercolours, and wax resist.

Once your painting begins to take shape, you’ll explore free machine embroidery — using stitch as a mark-making tool to enhance and transform your artwork.
There will be plenty of options for those who wish to take the theme further: adding birds or butterflies, experimenting with carbon paper for drawing, or incorporating stencils. Mixed media is wonderfully creative — there are no rules, just curiosity and a willingness to have a go.

No prior experience is necessary. Your tutor will guide you through the process and respond to individual ideas and needs.

A light lunch, refreshments and materials are provided, however please bring your own sewing machine. If you don’t have one, please let us know in advance so that we can arrange one for you to borrow.
