Workshop details
Play with gold effects for festive calligraphic uses, using acrylic metallic paints, gouache, and coloured papers to create decorative festive designs ,labels and tiny gift boxes to set your imagination off in your own direction.
Metallics are particularly fun to employ for any festivities in the winter months, as their sparkle is a welcome attraction, and a distraction from the dark. It’s amazing what can be done with gold acrylic paints scraped across a page, rubbed down then written on; for more drama you can do it onto red or black papers and turn them into stunning parcel labels or greetings cards.
Gold gouache and other metallic paints are great to write with, once you’ve got the consistency working well and they too show up best on dark papers. Gifts become very acceptable if parceled in small boxes, so we’ll add our writing to shapes cut from templates provided.
You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching the live demonstration – the demo session is a time to watch, ask and learn. After the demo you will be given a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.
