Bring to life your favourite insects in this mixed media workshop to create 2-D or 3-D creations.

These can be true representations or creative and colourful designs using your favourite colours, designs, fabrics and paper. 

The workshop

In this guided session you will experiment with different techniques using acrylic paints, collage and different materials before making your final insect creation. 

Make use of the huge array of shades of acrylic paints including metallics and neons plus the vast number of stencils to create the details and patterns on your insects. 

You will then decide to create a couple of small creatures or a large peice that is 2-D or 3-D with the option of moving parts.

No skills or experience required, just an enthusiasm to give things a go. 

No drawing ability required as there will be templates to use and lots of stencils to create patterns for wings etc. 

All materials provided, plus bring along your own fabrics, papers, magazines and materials that you may want to include or mount the creatures on. 

What you will come away with

1-D painting or 2-D/3-D insects that you can mount on a canvas or a wall or hang up.
