Thursday Art Club – Mixed Media and Mocktails: Session 5

Join us for a joyful, no-pressure art course.

Mixed Media & Mocktails is a joyful, no-pressure art course designed to help adults explore creativity in an accessible and social way. Each week offers a new artistic technique, from gel printing and collage to expressive watercolour and mark making – all suitable for complete beginners and returning creatives.

The final session will bring everything together with a simple handbound book made from papers created in previous sessions, giving participants the chance to reflect on their experiences and take home a completed project.

Sessions will be presented in a warm, welcoming, friendly atmosphere – with a jug or two of non-alcoholic mocktails to encourage conversation and creative courage. The aim is to create an inclusive, accessible event for everybody.

Session 5: Make your Mark & Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)

Adding marks and layers to previously made papers to complete pieces. Making small tags or ATCs to swap with other participants.
