Decorative Painting

Tutor; Di Singleton, Cottage Designs (website)

Learn to paint flowers, leaves and other decorative patterns, using simple traditional methods. There will be two designs taught, Snowdrop and Muscari, each circled in a wreath of tiny flowers and leaves. With time you will be able to apply these techniques to almost any objects for decoration, however, for simplicity, a base painted tissue box may be purchased, or students may bring a prepared wooden box file to make into a charming recipe holder. Tutored by the author of three books on this fascinating and useful art.

Di has agreed to return and teach another class on 15th October 2004 - the deep octagonal box, which everyone was admiring. The pattern is a bee in honeysuckle!
