Artworks Community Studio

Yesterday the Watercolour and bookmaking class wrapped up for the term, and I must say it was another fabulous term full of creativity.

This term we have been focusing on bookmaking looking at different kinds of Artist books and making our own concertina book using techniques we learnt in the first part of the course.

The participants were asked to explore the theme “your backyard” looking at things that make them feel at home. The books created are all so different but equally amazing and this tutor is so proud of what everyone created.

Thankyou to all the participants for sharing your creativity

Art Journaling – 18.5.26 🎨✨

Today’s art journaling journey was all about slowing down, softening the mind, and creating from a place of calm.

The morning session focused on Neurographic Art — a gentle and mindful process that helped us let go of busy thoughts and quiet the constant chatter of the mind. Through flowing lines, softened edges, and intuitive movement, we allowed creativity to guide us into a more peaceful and grounded space.

In the afternoon, the energy shifted into playful exploration as we experimented with Crayola Supertip markers to create beautiful agate-style flowers. Layers of vibrant colour, organic patterns, and flowing shapes came together in unexpected and magical ways, each piece blooming with its own unique personality.

A day filled with colour, mindfulness, creativity, and connection — a reminder that art doesn’t need perfection, only presence. 💖

Circles & Flowers 🌸

We began the morning immersed in colour and movement, creating layered circles using a collection of found objects. The rims were painted with watercolour, allowing the pigments to drift and bloom organically across the page. Transparent washes overlapped and merged, while delicate pen work and fragments of assorted papers added texture, detail, and story.

After lunch, we slowed down and turned our attention to nature journaling. Fresh flowers became our inspiration as we carefully observed their shapes, colours, and intricate details. Notes and loose sketches captured first impressions before soft watercolour washes and expressive pen work brought each page to life.

A beautiful day of experimentation, observation, and creative flow. 🎨🌿
