Beautiful Christmas workshop results

Here are a few images of the results from the Christmas workshop. It was a stormy day outside so we were cosy and warm in the studio looking out onto the grey and windy landscape below. Inside creating colourful and festive gift wrap, cards and tags.

Our processes involved screen printing, stamping, silver leaf and tin work.

Creative christmas workshop

For the first time ever, I am running two, one day workshops with a Christmas theme. Each day is excellent value at €95

SO Start the festive season with a day long course, screen printing a card, stamping your own wrapping paper and creating a tin tree decoration.

On the day you will learn how to

  • Make your own card, painting colour blocks followed by a top layer applying a screen print.

  • Print wrapping paper using stamps for an all over pattern.

  • Make a tin tree decoration mounted on a ply Christmas shape.

This course is limited to 6 places and includes a light lunch and refreshments during the day.

All materials are included.

Please wear something suitable, and/ or an apron if you are like me and get paint everywhere!

Another day course at the Curwen print study centre near Linton.

Everything about the process is full of colour and energy.  First choosing the inks and then rolling them out on old bread boards, shiny with age and amazing patina.  I would happily have them on my wall.

The last picture is the drying rack where the prints sit layer upon layer.
