Tuesday evening - Botanical Napkins with Amanda Cox
Spend a relaxed evening creating your own pair of botanical napkins inspired by the beauty of wildflowers and cottage gardens.
Using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and a collection of reusable botanical stencils, you'll learn how to build layered meadow-inspired designs onto fabric. We'll begin by experimenting on a small fabric sampler to explore colour, composition and simple stencilling techniques before creating your finished napkins.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as anyone who enjoys making beautiful things. There are no rules—just the opportunity to play with botanical forms, colour and pattern in a friendly, creative atmosphere.
You'll leave with two hand-printed botanical napkins and the confidence to continue experimenting at home.
Things to bring: Everything is provided. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on, or bring an apron.
