Make Your Own Palace!
Own your very own palace with out all the cleaning...although you'd just have staff wouldn't you?? In celebration of HRH The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we are going to be creating our very own royal residence in the form of a pop-out palace with lots of tiny interactive paper elements such as guards, flags, spectators, trees and HRH herself! Feel free to add statues, errant corgis...maybe a pigeon or two?!
Includes Step-By-Step Instructions and Tips & Tricks
There are two options with this workshop...you could go present day or historical or choose to create both as it's a lot of fun to add all the tiny details. These little palaces not only look cute but when folded to lie flat and, as a result, are brilliant to add into a sketchbook or give as a card to a friend. They are easy, fun to make with lots of very nice creative decisions to be made! We will be slowly collaging the frontage and I will show you how you can adapt this technique to create a collage version of your own house. It's a really easy project and takes time but in a really nice pottering way...nothing difficult.
Fun, Friendly and Welcoming!
With loads of tips and tricks this is a relaxing workshop suitable for all...and you don't need to be able to draw! All the elements used to create this lovely project can be traced and coloured or simply coloured in and cut out however if you do have more experience you can add loads of your own drawn details so it's really flexible.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your journaling class. The reading list, the exercises and your unique approach has changed the way I approach my lettering, my art and my day! I laugh out loud at your anecdotes and you have such a lovely way of presenting your subject. I'm definitely a fan and I'll be stalking you in more online classes in the future.
Just a note to say thank you for the for the class last night. You gave us some really useful starters and I like the 'you cannot go wrong and if you do just paint/paper over it' approach. The classes are helping me to feel interested again in what I am doing and spurring me on to do more, so, a big 'thank you' for that too.
Lucia Leyfield
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful...a nostalgic, moving and profound ...a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Her journals and sketchbooks, which record life as it happens, conversations, inspirations and experiments, have become works of art in their own right. Many of Lucia's sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches.
She is inspired by a diverse range of things: the old, rusty and wonky, worn architectural patinas, ancient diagrams, aged buildings, old books and ephemera, explorers' sketchbooks and vintage field guides.
