Hi, I am Bram Tan and Skinnymals.co.uk is the result of 6 years experience as an artist running workshops in Paris (www.bramtan.com) and my love for animals and nature.

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

For beginners and very young artists, making art is both exciting and frustrating at the same time. The learning curve is sometimes steeper than the budding artist is able to navigate, with patience.

A well placed boost to their creative process can have a wonderful effect, the activity 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 more ways to provide this creativity boost, in the hope that with hands-on activity and just having fun - children will develop fine motor skills and artistic expression, whilst making beautiful animal sculptures. There are plenty more Skinnymals to come!

Wishing everybody a gloriously creative time!

Bram Tan & Nic Leon
