Workshop with Marta Lapkowska

Greetings from Dublin, I hope this day finds you well.

I was lucky to attend a fantastic workshop recently with the very lovely and talented Marta Lapkowska (Maremi Small Art).

We made what Marta calls her 'Tiny Art Quintet' as well as a gorgeous book cover. I'm sharing today the Tiny Art Quintet - each piece is about 14.5cm / 5.75 inches in height. Our ingredients were chipboard, wood and some embellishments. We applied Marta's secret magical process to achieve results below.


I so enjoyed making this Quintet! Huge thanks to Marta and to the wonderful Agnieszka Barska for facilitating a really super day.

I hope this week is kind to you no matter where in the world you are.

Warmest wishes,
Nicola x
