About the Course

Most of our post nowadays is made up of bills, perhaps with the odd birthday card thrown into the mix. As a child, particularly one accustomed to the immediate response times of modern technology, a letter addressed to them, decorated with pictures and stamps, could be a very exciting thing. 


The structure of the session includes:

  • An introduction and brief demonstration on drawing and painting

  • An activity for both adults and children to start designing and decorating their letters

  • A tea/coffee/squash break half way through

  • Options to try origami letter folds

  • Children's tips for how to write a letter.



Tea, coffee, biscuits, and squash will be included, along with all materials. Each pair will receive a booklet of resources to take away at the end of the class.


*This workshop is of course open to other forms of family groupings but is ideally aimed at a child and a person with whom they’d like to correspond. 

The upper age limit on this class is flexible and older children are welcome to experiment with more complicated designs if they’d like to attend. Please get in touch if you’d like to bring an additional child, as this is space dependent.

"I’ve had great fun practising my newly learnt skills.  All that I hoped to achieve from the workshops - a looser style, working quicker, being able to work without needing magnifying lenses - has been achieved, and more. What has emerged in me is a new attitude to my art in that I no longer worry about it being perfect but about enjoying the process of portraying what is in front of me. Emma is a gifted teacher - as well as being a very pleasant person who made the sessions so enjoyable as well as productive.

 

Here’s my first attempt, and then a couple of examples from the end of the course. What isn’t captured here is the increased enjoyment in drawing and painting I gained from those first efforts to how I feel when drawing and painting now".
