What you'll do
Mixed media, in the form of an altered book, uses a range of different materials and techniques to put together interesting and beautiful art spreads. Using collage, paints, inks, pencils, pastels, and stamps, amongst other things, I build up the piece layer by layer. It's a wonderful creative outlet and a practise I've found so good for my mental health and expression.No artistic experience or skills are necessary. Once you learn a few tips and tricks there are no rules and the only limit is your imagination!On my workshop day, we will work together to make a double-page spread, from start to finish, in your own book.Together we will work on:
- Creating backgrounds
- Incorporating ephemera
- Expanding painted patterns
- Sketching, planning, and painting accents
- Finishing touches

Hello! I’m Paula, an Illustrator and Maker who is never happier than when I am creating something new. I love to mix things up with various media including pencils, paint, fabric and my ipad. I enjoy working both traditionally and digitally. I’m rarely short of ideas and my inspiration comes from pop culture, music, movies, nature and literature - they all find their way into my work. I bring my unique illustrations to life with dolls, wooden pins, mugs, bags, t-shirts and more.I have been running my small creative business, Paula and the Pencils, for almost 8 years and I send parcels all over the world! I can regularly be found out and about at Makers Markets and, with my designer friend Emma, I run the Meet the Makers Markets several times a year. We also run the Pins and Pencils Art Academy providing art classes for kids.My lovely little studio is at Burns Street Studios in Northampton, a wonderful creative space full of encouragement and inspiration – I look forward to welcoming you there!
