Get into the festive spirit with a relaxed session creating your own Christmas crackers, greeting cards and gift tags. Spend a relaxing morning learning a creative, modern style of hand lettering in a gorgeous watercolour style.

During the 2-hour workshop, you will learn everything from mark making, lettering formation and phrases before putting into practice what you have learnt to create your own quotes and phrases. Learn how to create loose Christmas florals, blend colours, washes and ombre effects to compliment your beautiful lettering.
 
Great for beginners, those wanting to improve their style and flair, as well as both right and left-handed people. Continue practicing at home with the brush starter kit which will be yours to take away, including an aqua brush pen, watercolour paint pallet and worksheets.
 
Tutor: Helen Wallace Creator of Wallace Lettering!
