This Valentine's Day doesn't have to be just about romantic love. Let's celebrate friendship and the people you admire.
Come along to this free online watercolour painting class and paint something you can use to send messages of love and affection to partners, family, and friends.
Based in the Blue Mountains, your friendly and experienced teacher, Fran, will guide you through the techniques behind basic watercolour painting and brushwork. You will work on a range of exercises to build your confidence while creating easy, fun Valentine-themed paintings.
Whether you're a complete beginner or have a little more painting and illustration experience, this creative workshop is a great place to explore watercolour art, no matter your skill level. Anyone can come and learn how to paint with watercolours.
This unique watercolour class is also a lovely way to get into the Valentine's Day spirit and connect with like-minded creatives. With a glass of wine or cuppa in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, your original artwork will be perfect DIY greeting cards to send to someone special.

Fran is an artist; an educator, neither overshadows, they simply entwine and enrich one another.
At a young age Fran discovered the value of creating art in her daily life. The act of art helped Fran express her identity. The process of developing an idea, especially with jewellery, seeing that idea come to completion by Fran's own hand filled her with satisfaction and accomplishment.  Fran began to see how creating art helped other aspects of my life and learning.
Fran is inspired by nature, patterns, form and texture. Each created piece portrays a slice of life, a perspective of the world in which we all live. Her mediums span painting and jewellery to collage and stitching. They all bring joy, though not everything turns out how she envisaged.
In particular Fran sees the unique design and individually handcrafted nature of bespoke jewellery as an ornamental way of extending personal self-expression. During the creative process, she is mindful that someone will be wearing the piece and it will come alive only when it finds its owner.
Fran is most comfortable in the studio classroom teaching art than in any other place or endeavour. It fills her soul to help others learn by exposing them to tools, materials and techniques of Fran's trade and then develop their skills and confidence in the creative medium.
Through support, conversation and laughter, I set a welcoming scene of free expression.
Ladybird Design Creative Studio is the culmination of creating a life around my passions of art, jewellery and teaching. It frees Fran to take a piece of silver, blank canvas or paper, turn it into a beautiful thing and share it with the world every day. Fran believes now more than ever that pursuing one’s passions makes life more colourful and vibrant, gives us pleasure and purpose, but most of all it reminds us of who we are.
Fran would love to share the joy of creating and making with you.
