Scrap booking
Scrapbooking 1 - Basic Crafting Techniques
Are you new to Scrapbooking?
Basic craft skills. If so, this course will help you to choose appropriate materials and tools to make strikingly beautiful pages or inserts for your scrapbook. Week by week you will develop design and compilation skills, learning methods that will enhance your crafting experience as you build your scrapbook into a work of art. Our watchful and encouraging tutors will supervise and guide you step by step on your personal journey.
You will learn about:
sourcing and selecting appropriate materials and tools
page layout and design (takes more than one week)
whether to glue or not to glue… what are the alternatives?
choosing the right photos and how best to size them
adding frames and borders and other embellishments
Putting it all together – buttons, bows, ribbons and tags
Scrapbooking 2 - Construction, Layering and intricate Embellishing:
Do you already have some basic scrapbooking skills, but want some inspiration, why not sign up for our Intermediate course?
Our experienced staff will encourage and inspire you to develop your skills and master new techniques. We can help you to step up from home made to hand crafted; with more sophisticated designs performed with skill and flair. If this is the opportunity you have been waiting for, call us now to reserve your place.
You will learn about:
how to further developing your ‘critical’ eye
where colour clashing means striking; all things bright and beautiful
‘Motional’ scrapbooking; mixing modern with traditional – where it
works/where it doesn’t
bringing multiple techniques together – what works/what doesn’t
journaling techniques: pages within pages; wheels within wheels
when an image is not an image?
Scrapbooking sounds a really weird phrase, but that's what they call it and to many people it might sound a little wrong. But there is a strong following of this sort of pastime and that's why the courses were set up for this exact subject. Check around this site and others and you will soon realise that maybe it is the reader that is simply less familiar with the subject matter rather than the subject matter being obscure!
