Join Pam in a creative, fun workshop, where you’ll learn how to
harness the potential of the gel printing plate for creating beautiful
collage papers! You will explore a variety of techniques like discovering textures, printing with plants and handmade stencils and
using acrylic paints, and pens.

You will be able to transform your
collages into intricate, expressive designs that feature the botanical
elements of your foliage and flowers on a canvas.

Learn to embrace the intuitive and explorative nature of art and delve into the vibrant colours, intricate details, and captivating textures that will capture the essence of flora in all its glory on a stretched canvas.

Do you ever feel like there's an artist within you just waiting to come out, but you've always been too afraid to even try? Or maybe you've dabbled in painting before, but lack the confidence to really express yourself on the canvas.

I understand how daunting it can be to approach a blank canvas, which is why the Playful Painting Workshop was created - a safe, encouraging, and super supportive environment for people just like you. 

Join me for a day of dancing, splashing, spraying, scraping, dripping, mark making and laughing as we unlock your creative flow and ignite your passion for painting. Our intuitive, playful process is perfect for beginners and those wishing to breathe new life into their painting. You'll be amazed at the talents you uncover within yourself. 
 

Please note. These paintings are examples of what is achieved through this process. You are each going to create your own meaningful imagery. This process helps coax your own creativity and so your imagery will be unique and meaningful to you.

Create your own mini Wall trophy (or bench sitter) using La Doll Air dry Clay.

I will prepare the base & connections, you create the head shape of choice in wire and foil, with or without antlers.
Learn how to cover the foil shape and add facial details.
Also learn how to make a foil pattern and cut your fur.

In one day I would expect you to sculpt your creature. I will show you how to make a pattern and cut the fur, ready to attach after the clay dries.

This clay has a tendency to crack after a day of drying. I will show you how to fix this (before painting and attaching fur).

The clay will need to dry before adding fur, which will be cut to fit, ready to glue on once the clay is painted & dries.
