What Materials Will I Need?

Every week you'll need  a basic toolkit of paint and collage materials:
​
  • Paper and pen to make notes
  • Plenty of paper or card to work on. Wallpaper lining paper is good, or sugar paper, watercolour paper, mixed media paper etc. A3 is a good size, but you could work bigger on A2 or slightly smaller on A4
  • Pencil for sketching (any)
  • Paint – water based eg acrylic, gouache or ready mix paint.
  • Brushes -  large, small, hard and soft - a pack of children’s brushes is ideal.
  • Water pot
  • Plastic tray or paper plates to use as a palette
  • ​Selection of magazines and coloured and textured papers for collage, this could include leaflets, newspapers, old wrapping paper, food labels etc
  • Kitchen towel for keeping things clean
  • Scissors
  • Glue eg Pritt stick
  • It’s a good idea to cover your surfaces with a sheet, and wear an apron and gloves as things might get messy. ​
 
Each week you'll also need to gather some household items to make marks with (we will be getting paint on them)

Workshop reviews:

Really enjoyed the art workshop. I found it interesting seeing what the other people in the group produced and to see how different everyone’s art was.  I would definitely recommend the class to other friends and would like to do another class too. ​Jackie 


 

This workshop was super. It gave me the confidence to experiment with techniques, and gave me the inspiration to carry on creating art afterwards. Lynda

​

Very relaxed and friendly, I really enjoyed it and felt inspired -  ​Sarah
