Course Description

Festive Watercolour Workshop – Create Your Own Christmas Cards! Due to popular demand, I've put in another date for this Christmas card workshop. Join me for a joyful and relaxed morning of painting, perfect for all abilities – whether you're an absolute beginner or looking to try out some new techniques. No drawing skills needed – just bring your curiosity and creativity! This workshop is all about fun, experimentation, and festive spirit. You’ll enjoy a mindful, playful space to connect with others and explore the magic of watercolour. Using a vibrant but limited palette, you’ll learn how to create a set of beautiful handmade Christmas cards to take home – perfect for gifting to your loved ones. We’ll experiment with techniques like spatter, salt, cling film and masking fluid to create colourful, one-of-a-kind designs. All materials are provided, including aperture cards and envelopes – just bring an apron and something to carry your masterpieces home in. Refreshments will be available to keep you cosy and fuel your creativity. Got a favourite place you’d love to paint? Bring a reference photo and personalise your card even more! You’ll be gently guided step by step by Ione, a landscape artist and experienced tutor with over 30 years of teaching under her belt. Her workshops are designed to build your confidence, spark your creativity, and give you a warm, restorative time with paint. Location: 5A, Wath Court, Hovingham YO62 4NN Time: 10am – 1pm, Sunday 16 November Please note the workshop space is upstairs on the first floor. I can’t wait to paint with you – come and make some merry magic!
