Tutor: Cathy Thomas

We're delighted to be able to offer this totally NEW live-streamed workshop. Christmas is our favourite holiday, as we love decorating our homes and creating hand-made gifts for the season. If you’re the same, then this wreath watercolour workshop will be just up your street!

For those who have done a little watercolour before and want to take their skills further, this 'Beyond Beginner' workshop teaches you to create a festive watercolour wreath design. Please note, there won't be any calligraphic instruction in this session, it is all about the wreath!

Be guided through the steps to creating festive botanical wreath designs, using different illustrative elements. By breaking the process down into bite-sized steps, we will prove that there is no need to be intimidated. Enjoy adding coloured layers as you build up the design and finish this three-hour class with skills that mean you will be able to create wreaths for any project, whether it be Christmas cards, gifts or decorations.

In this workshop, we will focus solely on building up a wreath design, which is the perfect complement to your modern calligraphy skills. You will also receive access to the recording of this live-streamed workshop, right up until Christmas.  This will give you the opportunity to re-visit the workshop in your own time and really consolidate your learning.
