Wonderbooks with Janene

Turn a sheet of card into an artfully designed 4-page book.

Firstly, Janene will show you how to create artistic rubbings (also called Frottage) by placing paper over a textured surface and rubbing colourful crayons and pencils over them. Then you will cut your rubbings into a range of shapes representing flowers, trees, buildings and other interesting things to collage into and compose your artist book.

Once complete you will have a wonderous artist book to show your friends and family. It's also something you can put on display in a special place like the one in the photo. There are so many possibilities.
