Procreate for Beginners w. Jane Horton - 5/2/25 @G1
Want to learn how to use Procreate?
WHO: Jane is an illustrator and printmaker and uses Procreate on her iPad as a tool to help develop her designs. She has illustrated several books and designed two colouring books. She loves showing her grandchildren how to paint using Procreate. Follow her @artyjaneh on Instagram.
‘Procreate for beginners’ is Jane’s first workshop for Globe Arts. Procreate is a powerful tool designed for artists and illustrators, on the iPad. It’s acknowledged as one of the best digital painting tools available. Just bring your iPad to the workshop, and download Procreate onto your IPad before you arrive.
It’s a fun introduction to the powerful tools in Procreate. You’ll learn about the myriad of brushes and exciting effects you can use, how to select colours, and save what you’ve done. Jane will show you how to draw and paint on the iPad using reference photos saved on your iPad as well as drawing from observation using your finger or an Apple Pencil. At the end of the workshop you’ll feel confident to draw and paint using Procreate and eager to explore more Procreate tools and techniques in future.
WHAT: Procreate is a digital drawing app available on Apple iPads and is popular amongst digital artists. Procreate is a fantastic software for digital art, but can be a bit overwhelming when it comes to the different tools and techniques! If you’ve been wanting to explore Procreate but don’t know where to start, Jane will be running this one off workshop for beginners to help them increase their confidence and understanding of Procreate - use to learn the software to its full potential! Experiment with layers, opacity and techniques.
PLEASE NOTE: You must bring your own Apple iPad with iOS of 15.4.1 or newer with you, already have downloaded Procreate (it is a one-time £12.99 with no further subscription/purchases).

Fused Glass Pumpkins Workshop - 23/10/24 @G2
Join Lauren the week before Halloween to make your own fused glass decoration.
Using clear glass and powdered glass, you will use specialist equipment to add different colours and shades onto the glass. You can make it a jack-o-lantern style, using our face cut out stencils, or keep it as a plain pumpkin, and decorate with curly green glass rods to look like the stem.
You can keep your glass flat, we can add jump rings so it can be hung in a window or placed in a perspex stand. Or we can bend your glass, into a candle arch shape, so you can place candles behind on a mantle piece or on a windowsill!
These pieces will be put in the kiln at the end of the workshop, and we will email you when they are ready to collect the following week.
This workshop is suitable for 16 years and above.
Pumpkin x1 person = £50.00
Pumpkin x2 people = £90.00
