Artist Trading Cards

From YearOfTheTeledu

This is a Scheduled Programme Item

Day: Saturday

Time: 11am

Duration: 2 hours

Location: Oadby

Named Organiser: Flick and Marianne

Guided by Flick and Marianne, make and trade your own cards at an ATC workshop. Come along and get creative!

As their name indicates, Artist Trading Cards are collectibles, a brilliant idea born of the older sports-themed trading cards. The two rules that make an ATC derive from their origins: the dimensions of the ATC must be 2.5"x3.5", or 64x89mm, and they must be traded, not bought and sold.

This is a semi-messy thing: it shouldn't be too bad, but there's bound to be glitter on the floor afterwards. Flick will be providing the materials but if people want to bring stuff, like stickers, scraps of cool paper/card, stamps, paints and pens then they should do: even if the person who brings them can't think of a use, someone will!

If there's anything you'd particularly like to have a play with, let Flick know and she'll see what she can do.
