Following on nicely from exploring colour, contrast & pattern in part one, we take the next step in this class as we explore pattern making in more depth.

We learn how to design and create decorative patterned papers using two different methods: block printing & hand colouring.

You can use any art supplies eg. pens, crayons, paints, inks etc. to create the hand-drawn papers. If you'd like to have a go at the block printing, you will need at least one ink pad in a dark colour and a few stamping or printing blocks.

You'll also need either copier paper, bleedproof or cartridge paper, depending on which art supplies you choose to work with.

This is art for well-being, a wonderful way to take time out for yourself, relax and bring your body system back into a calm and peaceful balance.

As well as showing examples of how you could use your decorative papers, I've shared a little extra suggestion - using them to make affirmation cards, as part of creating a personal mindful, and uplifting space for yourself.

Easy and fun, this is completely suitable for beginners, AND you don’t need to have taken part one to be able to enjoy this class.
