Picture Book Creations

Christmas Card workshop at Warminster Garrison Community Centre.

Children will create a beautiful painting with our guidance, just like every other workshop. The magic then happens when you take the artwork home!

Simply photograph it on your phone, upload it to our recommended company website and place your order with them for beautiful Christmas cards – (please note, this will be an additional cost.)

I have trialled this and the cards came out beautifully. They are 300 GSM premium card and come with luxury white envelopes, size A5 (A4 folded). Cards can be produced either landscape or portrait, depending on your child’s drawing. On the back on the card your child’s name, including month and year of when the painting was done can be added. There is also a range of quantities to select from. Sending personalised cards will make Christmas even more special for family and friends this year.

Family Art Adventures at Warminster Garrison Community Centre.

For this workshop, children get to bring along an adult and together, you’ll co-create a vibrant, one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates shared creativity.

No experience is needed – just bring along your imagination and prepare for a little bit of mess.

What to expect:

• Guided abstract art session

• A varied range of expressive techniques

• A fun focus on the process rather than the outcome

• Quality time together

• A unique canvas to take home

Save the Date!

Don’t forget to save the date for the surprise Christmas Present Workshop, Saturday 29th November, from 10am – 3pm.

Let us help your child to create a truly personal, surprise Christmas present for Mum, Dad or grandparents. With guidance, a very special piece of artwork will be created. Then, your child’s painting will be framed, wrapped in their hand-printed wrapping paper and personalised tags, and tied up in a ribbon – all ready for gifting on the big day.

Look out for more information to come and reserve your place now as spaces will be limited.
