This session will teach you how to use masking tape to create clean crisp designs. We will be using wooden blanks for wall art, wooden boxes or serving trays for you to design then then paint, giving you the skills to take away to create your own tape art on furniture at home.
You will be taught by Ruth, our in house Creative Lead and professional furniture refinisher. Ruth specialises in Geometric designs and tape art at Reet Good Wood CIC within Leigh Spinners Mill.
Reet Good Wood CIC is a creative space which was set up for adults who are going through or have received a late Neurodivergent diagnosis. We are opening our doors for this session to ALL ADULTS who want to come to learn how to use tape to create gemoetric patterns to decorate a wooden box, serving tray or create a piece of wall art to take home with you. The skills you learn can be used in your own practice when upcycling furniture or creating bespoke pieces for your home.
You will be provided with a wooden blank shape to practice on, then you will choose whether you want to create a design on a wooden box, serving tray or a bigger wooden blank to use as wall art.
All paints,brushes, tape, materials and guidance are included by the ticket fee. By offering this session on a Saturday, it means the building is quiet, and we can create more bespoke working and teaching experiences. We're asking for a £30 ticket contribution to cover teaching, operational costs and materials. All money generated will be put back in to the CIC so we are able to continue our not-for-profit work with the Neurodivergent community.
This workshop is for adults of any gender identity. You do need to be able to work independently as you will be expected to be able to work unsupervised at times, to keep yourself safe and to be able to create your own designs and painting.
Group size is limited to 6 places. Demand for these sessions is high so if you can not make it please cancel your booking in advance to allow other people to book. If you want a video or any more information about the workshop space, or want to visit first - that can be arranged.
