Hi, I am Bram Tan and Skinnymals.co.uk is the result of running art workshops in Paris (www.bramtan.com) and also my love for animals and nature.

On this journey with me is Nicholas Leon, fearlessly taking care of business!

For beginners, making art is exciting and frustrating at the same time. The learning curve is often steeper than the budding artist is able to navigate.

A well crafted boost to their process can have a wonderful effect, the challenge immediately transforms itself from a very personal experiment, full of dread, to an exciting and uplifting mission to express oneself.

Our mission is to develop ways to provide this ‘creativity boost’, in the hope that, with hands-on activity and the spirit of just having fun - young artists will develop the fine motor skills and artistic expression they seek, whilst making beautiful sculptures. Plenty more Skinnymals to come!

Wishing everybody a gloriously creative time!
