Doodle with Neil

Neil Smith is a local graphic designer who can’t stop doodling! 

Come and join the doodling fun at 9:45am on Saturday 23rd May at The Crafty Cup.

Please arrive any time from 9:30am

Suitable for ages 5 and up – we’ll have paper and pens ready, but if you’ve got a favourite sketchbook, feel free to bring it along.

This is a free community event 💗

Louise Turner

Wonderful doodle session that was fun and interactive for the children; my 8 year old loved it!  A wonderful, friendly, community environment. Can’t wait for the next session. 

Inigo Ryan

A lovely engaging session. One of my children loves drawing so I knew it would be a hit with him but even the one that doesn't had a great time and was proud of what he created.

Frances Ryan

A lovely engaging session. Both my children (6 & 8) had a great time. One loves drawing so I was sure he would love it but the other one also had fun and he was proud of what he created. 

Hollie Halls 

A great way to kickstart the weekend with a doodle session with Neil, the kids (5,7) loved every minute. Big thanks. 

Louise Holley

Great doodle session with Neil.  My girls had great fun and I even joined in. Afterwards the session, we booked a table for some crafts and delicious cakes. A lovely morning to start the Easter holidays. 

Michelle Smith

We had a fantastic time at the doodle with Neil session, just the right mix of humour and art. Little one came away with some great drawings and a full belly of yummy cookies and hot chocolate!

Lacey Hallums

A great start to a Saturday morning. Neil is very entertaining to the little ones.

**🐚 Girls Night In: Scallop Shell Creations 🌊** 

&nbsp;

Embrace the summer, unleash your inner creativity in a relaxed and social atmosphere and let us guide you into  transforming natural scallop shells into stunning trinket dishes OR beautiful decorative keepsakes. 

For this 'Girl's Night In', you can choose from a beautiful selection of napkins to decoupage your scallop shell and then finish it off with  a selection of shiny embellishments to give your shell a pop.

Alternatively, you can choose to use your scallop shell as a canvas and create a seaside theme inside. You might like to use our example for inspiration or you can totally use your own creative talent - maybe you're thinking of great waves or a sunset? 

This workshop will gently guide you through the beginnings of decoupage techniques (if making the trinket dish), colour blending (if making the decorative keepsake), and adding chic embellishments to create personalized home treasures.

We’ll provide everything you need from beautiful patterned napkins and papers to embellishments paints and sealers. No artistic experience is required; if you can use a paintbrush, you can create a masterpiece!

&nbsp;

Come solo and make friends or bring your buddies too! Enjoy some 'me time' and let Zoe and Heather host and guide you so that you leave with a beautiful handmade gift (or a treat for yourself!)

&nbsp;

**Workshop Details**

- Duration: 1.5 hours
