Christmas Card Design Watercolour Workshop, 14 Nov 2026

£35.00

Saturday 14 November 2026, 2-4pm | The Waverley, Chippenham SN15 3HG

Join me for a relaxed, creative afternoon of painting your very own Christmas card design, with the option to have it turned into printed cards afterwards (see below for more info)!

In this workshop, you’ll learn the techniques of watercolour painting while creating your own Christmas card design. You’ll receive a printed copy of my Introduction to Watercolour booklet, full of tips and guidance to help you continue your painting after the workshop.

You can choose any subject you like for your design, and I’ll be there to guide you in creating your own version. Some ideas could be a robin, wreath, tree, stockings, winter cottage, baubles, reindeer, a festive front door… the possibilities are endless! What do you love seeing on a Christmas card?

I’d advise having something in mind beforehand and maybe choosing a picture to bring with you to the workshop (printed or on your phone) to use as a reference.

All materials and equipment will be provided. We’ll have exclusive use of The Waverley’s downstairs snug room, a complimentary drink is included with your ticket, and you’ll also receive a free A5 print of my festive robin illustration as a bonus thank you for attending!

All are welcome, whether you’re an art enthusiast or have never picked up a paintbrush before! Just 10 spaces are available, so book early to reserve yours. Hope to see you there!

Printing

For this workshop only, I’m offering the option to have your design turned into a set of professionally printed Christmas cards!

For an additional £15, you’ll receive a set of 12 A6 cards featuring your design, printed on luxury white Tintoretto Gesso 250gsm card — a high-quality, slightly textured, fully recyclable card stock. Each set also includes brown Kraft envelopes. This is the same card I use for printing my own designs, and it looks and feels beautiful.

The cards will be blank inside, and you can choose whether to include wording on the front.

If you’d like any tweaks made to your design or text added digitally, I can do this for you so it prints just as you’d like it.

On the back of each card, the following text will appear at the bottom:

Design hand painted by Your Name
Card produced by illustrationbykelly.com

You’re welcome to pay in advance or on the day. If you decide during the workshop, card payments will be available there.

Everyone who had cards printed last year was delighted with the results!

I can’t wait to see your design transformed into something special that you can share with loved ones.
