Learn how to sketch, carve and print your own greeting cards whilst enjoying a summery evening in the surroundings of beautiful gardens and greenhouses.
We start with a short wander through the gardens to get inspired by the latest blooms – and then get making! You will end up with 5 greeting cards to take home and your stamp to re-print your design as often as you like.
This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as advanced printmaker’s who would like to come together to create and get inspired by our summery gardens.
All materials are provided and there will be free tea and biscuits available during the workshop. Plus our little bar will be open with organic wine (Wild & Lees), local beer (Brixton Brewery) and botanical cocktails – card payments only.
For inspiration, have a look at the cards for sale at BPCG that resident printmakers have created, or have a rummage online, there are some beautiful examples here and here.
Depending on the layer of paint, your cards could dry relatively quickly, but it would be helpful if you could bring some Tupperware or similar to transport them home safely. Otherwise you can leave them with us to collect anytime between Thursday and Sunday.
This workshop will be led by artist, costume/prop designer and maker Charlina Lucas.
Getting to us & Access
BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.
If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.
Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road.
The park will be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.
