Description

A fun creative workshop full of colour for any level. Book for the 29th March for perfect gift for Mother's Day! Barbola was a popular technique found in the 1930's. You may have seen these beautiful vintage pieces? This technique was often found on mirrors, trinket boxes, fire screens and cigarette holders. It was originally made from gesso in the shape of flowers, fruit and leaves. On the day you will learn how to make your own flowers and leaves using moulds using a fluid product which creates pottery like flowers. This workshop is suitable for parent and child and teaches you how to make your piece of Barbola charm of the 1930's! We will need any dietary requirements as a luxury cream tea lunch with a pot of tea or fizz will be served...whatever you prefer! This one day event includes small items for you to work on or bring your own keepsake to work on! It also includes all your materials and paint from Sophie James Decor. Optional: bring your own keepsake like a shoe, picture frame, hard back book, etc.

What's included in the price?

All your materials to create your Barbola art. You also have the option to purchase other paints for a small amount from Sophie James Decor colour range. And a scrumptious cream tea lunch!
