November Calliarts - It's Ribbons on Your Paper

 Dear Members and Followers,

Put ribbons in your hair or around your old oak tree but have you tried ribbon writing? No! Then come join us for a fun afternoon to get you in the mood for Christmas.

So gather your graphite and coloured pencils in readiness for what promises to be a fun afternoon of “ribbon writing”.  These drawn letters will look as though they have been formed by twisted ribbon.  They can be used for greeting cards, envelopes, place cards and decorative headings and, with the festive season quickly approaching, we will concentrate on Christmas themes.  This workshop will be a great opportunity to get your creative juices flowing as you play with pencils, watercolour pencils and/or gouache or water colours to create a small project or two.
