This course is for creative people who enjoy working with their hands and would like to explore a new medium.

No prior experience with shadow box art is needed.
If you’re familiar with crafts like drawing, painting, or paper work, that may help - but it is by no means required.

We will be creating a small postcard-sized (A6) layered shadow box from scratch.

The project is a simple floral composition designed to help you understand layering, depth, and assembly - while still leaving room for your own creative choices.

The goal of this course is to give you a clear and repeatable process that you can later adapt to your own ideas and projects.

• 2.5 hours of real-time video showing the complete process from start to finish

• Step-by-step explanations of each stage of the process

• Practical tips on materials, layering, painting, and assembly

• Printable templates for the shadow box frames

The course is divided into short lessons that follow the complete process of creating a layered shadow box.

Throughout the videos, I work on one artwork from start to finish while explaining each step, decision, and technique along the way - including drawing, cutting, layering, and assembly.

The videos are recorded in English.

Not necessarily. This course focuses more on process, layering, and construction than on drawing skills. Having drawing and painting skills will definitely help - but they are by no means required.

You’ll only need a few basic tools:

• Paper suitable for painting and cutting

• A craft knife and cutting mat

• Basic paints (watercolor or gouache)

• Glue or double-sided tape

A full materials overview is included in the course.

Access to a printer is also very helpful, since I provide printable templates for the shadow box frames.
