Firstly, a big thanks to all of you who commented on the blog and on FB with feedback on the Topps Tree. It is always such an encouragement to get feedback – its really<\/em> appreciated. I will do a blog post on the process of making this tree in the next couple of weeks…<\/p>\n

…but for now…it’s time for\u00a0 the annual giveaway of a FREE place on my friend, Amelia’s Experimental Art e-course!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Experimental<\/a><\/p>\n

I have done this course and can tell you that it is full<\/em> of fantastic ideas for experimenting with different mediums of art, all easy to do from the comfort of your home.\u00a0 The course is great for both beginners and established artists as the whole course is about creating a place for you to play and experiment.<\/p>\n

Below\u00a0 is Amelia’s description. Once you have read this, see below for how you can easily enter to win a free place! And even if you don’t win, why don’t you consider participating and flexing your creative wings? Closing date is Mon 30th Sept, 5pm GMT so dot it now to be in with a chance!<\/p>\n

“This course is 9 weeks, with two assignments per week, to journey in to art, play and experimentation at a leisurely pace. On this course we explore a variety of media from drawing, painting & collage, through to guerilla art, in a fun & guided way with a tonne of artists, links and downloadable resources. Intended for those with a creative calling who don’t know where to start, or those who are practicing artists in need of fresh inspiration. <\/span>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

I believe in experimentation and permission to just get ‘stuck in and do’ when it comes to art-making, removing pressure about producing perfect ‘final outcomes’. To find out more, see here<\/a>, to see what past experimenters have said, see here<\/a>. And I’m offering one lucky Glittering Shards reader a chance to take part for free!”<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
