Christmas Print + Play workshop

Get your rollers at the ready - one impressive Bristol creative is about to show you the ins and outs of their unique low tech print process.

Join Sophie in her Christmas themed two-hour evening workshop that's the perfect antidote to a long old day. Use pre-cut Christmas themed stencils and rollers to create your own handmade cards and wrapping paper. This playful and satisfying low-tech print process gives quick but beautiful results. Sophie will show you the ropes!

In a friendly and supportive environment, you will learn how to position the Christmas stencils on blank cards and brown wrapping paper, rolling ink in the gaps. Discover the magic of materials that can create fantastic textures and wonderful gradients when built up into layers. Play around with shapes and compositions, and learn a thing or two about creating balance. Sophie encourages you to experiment with this process, providing all the guidance and support you need along the way.

Within a couple of hours, you'll have:

  • Produced at least 3 cards and a sheet of gift wrap
  • Played around with mixing many different colours
  • Learnt tips about colour combinations and composition

No previous artistic experience is required, just an interest in learning a new craft. Here's some love from previous guests:

  • 'Lots of time to be creative, very encouraging atmosphere'
  • 'Stimulating, relaxing, fun'
  • 'Sophie was a really friendly teacher'
  • 'Lots of freedom, materials provided. Lovely colours'
