Watercolour Celebration Cards Workshop with Rock N Wool Creations

Watercolour Celebration Cards Workshop – we are very excited to announce a new watercolour painting and mixed media workshop with tutor Caroline Lawrence from Rock ’n Wool Creations.

After beginning with some basic watercolour theory and mark-making, you will work together to create a collection of fun and beautiful Watercolour Celebration Cards. The cards will cover a wide range of occasions, including birthdays (with options for special milestone ages), Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, Valentine’s Day and anniversaries, designs can also be adjusted to say Thank You or Good Luck!

This workshop is ideal for beginners or those fairly new to watercolours who are looking for fresh ideas or hoping to build confidence in using watercolours with purpose. Caroline will guide you step by step through the creation of each card and explain the techniques used. Your card‑sending this year will feel extra special and thoughtful as you create and paint cards for your family and friends — making every occasion a perfect excuse to enjoy and practise your watercolour skills. Who knows, you may even decide to make all your own celebration cards this year.

Using watercolours and waterproof fine liners, you will create a set of Watercolour Celebration Cards and learn the techniques needed to continue making more at home, adding that ultra‑personal touch to every message you send.

Caroline will explore a variety of watercolour techniques to create different effects, and you will learn about brush strokes, colour mixing and adjusting tones. She will bring plenty of resources and ideas to inspire you. No experience is necessary — and there’s no need to worry if you don’t feel confident drawing or particularly creative. Caroline breaks everything down into simple, accessible steps to ensure everyone can take part and succeed.

All tuition and materials are included, along with cards, adhesives and a hot drink of your choice. Lunch and snacks are available to purchase from our SMart Café during the break.

Caroline teaches a wide range of creative workshops and classes across different mediums, including watercolour and ink, lino printing, needle felting, lampshade making, candle making and papermaking. Keep an eye out for more of her workshops at Southern Maltings, including needle felting in October and her Watercolour Christmas Cards workshop in November.
