Painting for Products

Work with watercolour and gouache paints to create artwork for a product your can enjoy using at home.

Jo will take your artwork and digitally prepare it for product printing with her print partner Contrado. Following the class, Jo will send a digital proof of your product design along with the costs before printing.

Please note - the class fee covers your workshop time, painting materials and tuition. It does not cover the cost of the product itself, and this will be payable directly to Jo following the workshop before your product is ordered. Finished products will be posted to your home address, or can be collected from The Base a few weeks after the class. Products available include tea towels, over gloves, aprons and start from £12 plus postage in price.

What to Expect: You will learn about consistency, brush techniques, layering and composition. Then you will finish the class by creating artwork to apply to a product of your choice.

Benefits: You will be introduced to painting for products, learning new skills and painting techniques that you can continue to apply in your own practice.

Who is your tutor: Jo Richards is a graphic designer by trade, but painting is a true passion. Putting brush, pen, pencil or nib to paper and creating is a huge part of Jo's life, while being deeply inspired by nature, the world's only true artist. Jo enjoys drawing from from her senses when surrounded by nature. Every design is unique, created by hand, and full of soul and love.
