Collage card workshop: Spring flowers

Taking inspiration from the Garden, come and join Caroline Henricksen for a fun, relaxing and creative morning collaging Spring flower cards. Caroline will take you through the process she uses to create her botanical collage pieces, starting with you creating your own collage surfaces using paints, foliage, vintage paper, magazines, old books, wallpaper and even toothbrush and paint rollers. Just about anything can be used to collage. Playing with patterns and textures can produce some really interesting and beautiful results. You are welcome to bring in your own additional materials to work with (for example old prints, poems, books) but everything is provided on the day. Just turn up and create!

This workshop is aimed at beginners through to more accomplished artists who want to try something new.

Caroline is an experienced botanical artist working in pencil and watercolour. She has a BA (Cons) in scientific illustration and has worked over the years for the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, the Hunterian Museum and Cambridge University Zoology Museum as a freelance illustrator. She teaches both adults and children to paint and draw.
