13th February 2027
Sunday 10:00-4:00
Adult workshop (but GCSE and A-Level students are very welcome to book this. It will be a great skills workshop for those taking art)
Workshop Description:
We're so excited to welcome the incredibly popular illustrator Ellie Hooi back to the studio for her first workshop of 2027! Ellie's distinctive, whimsical watercolour illustrations have captured the hearts of so many, and with a loyal following and workshops that regularly sell out, we're delighted to have her back with us in person.
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a wonderfully creative workshop inspired by love, friendship and the joy of making something by hand? Take some time for yourself and enjoy a relaxing day exploring Ellie's charming world of watercolour illustration.
Taking inspiration from all things heartfelt, you'll paint adorable little mice, heart-shaped balloons and other sweet details, discovering how to create characterful illustrations that celebrate the people who mean the most to us.
Discover how Ellie combines delicate watercolour painting with fine liner drawing to create her delightful illustrations, full of personality, warmth and those little details that make her work so recognisable.
With Ellie's expert guidance and individual support, you'll learn essential drawing and painting techniques, experiment with colour and detail, and discover some of the secrets behind her much-loved whimsical style.
Whether you're completely new to watercolours or already enjoy drawing and painting, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn directly from Ellie, develop your confidence and enjoy a little creative time for yourself.
You'll leave with your own collection of beautiful illustrations, including a personalised Valentine's greeting card or a piece of artwork ready to frame, keep or gift to someone special.
A day celebrating love, friendship and the happiness that comes from creating something by hand.
Artist / Maker / Tutor:
Ellie is an illustrator and stationery producer from Cardiff, Wales. She set up Ellie Hooi Illustration to create and share handmade watercolour illustrations, and to make greeting cards that would bring a smile to someone’s day through the joy of a handwritten card. Ellie has developed a large social media following and regular shares films of her bringing her characters to life through paint.
Ellie is mainly inspired by the local wildlife and seasonal produce that she grows at her allotment. Her characters have their own personalities and you can almost hear their little conversations, which makes me wonder is Ellie Cardiff’s very own Beatrix Potter?
What is included in the ticket price?
All art supplies are provided but you are welcome to bring your own along too if you prefer.
Tea, coffee and biscuits.
Where will the workshops take place?
In Beth’s studio at Insole Court, Cardiff.
Please read all the T’s and C’s before booking.
