Just about to start packing the van for Bairnsdale Makers Market tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will stay away, and there will be lots of people out and about with having to vote in the Federal election tomorrow. A market is just what you need after that!!.
A few pictures below of two new sculptures done with the new ochre, which I have available, and another for the market. Not looking forward to the early morning start tomorrow - (I think that is the main reason I don't do so many markets anymore!!). Faeries with Attitude will be at the Quilt and Craft Exhibition in Warragul with lots of new sculptures and the fabulous range of Powertex Products. There will be demonstrations each day and also a series of 1 hour workshops so you can discover the amazing versatility of Powertex.
Over the weekend there will be the opportunity to make your own tea-light holder, an elegant masquerade wall plaque, see demonstrations on how to use PowerPrint, the fabulous photo transfer medium, a variety of mixed media products and techniques, and of course sculpture demonstrations!! I have finally unpacked the final boxfrom the Craft and Quilt Fair in Melbourne last weekend. What a fabulous experience it was, and how great for Powertex and "Faeries with Attitude" to get such exposure in Melbourne. Many thanks to both Ash and Mark, from Powertex Australia, for such an opportunity. Also, thanks to Sharron, Caren and Lyn for helping out on the stand during the Fair and being our support people while Ash and I demonstrated or held workshops. For the wonderful artwork that was on the stand, thanks to Val, Kaz, Sharron and Caren. There were so many compliments about the standard and variety of artwork. We were so lucky to get the additional space above the stand to display the fantastic mixed media and PowerPrint pieces. Thanks also to Ken, my husband. He was up the ladder hanging artwork, helping shift stock, doing a lot of the "heavy stuff" during set-up and then on Sunday night, taking it all back down again. I feel as if it has taken all week to recover, but will be back into workshops and the Certified Powertex Trainer Course this week!!
Lois and Jocelyn with some of their work.
Well, I have had a fabuous weekend working with Lois, Jocelyn and Kaz as they finished off their Level 3 and 4 Certified Powertex Trainer Course. Wonderful to see the results that can be achieved using Powertex products, by some very clever people!! Although there were some concerns that they had not painted much in the past, all the girls achieved wonderful results, proving they were more talented that they were giving themselves credit for. Lois and Jocelyn finished their mixed media pieces on Saturday for Level 3 and today Kaz joined them to finish Level 4. Kaz's work can also be seen on her Facebook page, Quintessential. Just confirmed a couple of new Sitting Sculpture workshops. The first one is with Traralgon and District Arts Society, at the "Art on Track" Gallery, Queens Parade in Traralgon. This will be on Saturday, 22nd June. Bookings are through the Art Society on 51766000. The other one is at Wyreena Community Arts Centre in Croydon, on Saturday, 13th July. Pictured is some of the fantastic work completed at the last Wyreena workshop!! A reminder that I will be at Traralgon Craft Market tomorrow with the faeries, and also featuring the work of Val Prokopiv, Sharron Johnson, and Karell Phillips, the other local Powertex trainers!! Perfect for that last minute Mothers Day shopping. I just love days like this!! What a delight it was to work with the participants from the AYCE program at Wantirna on Tuesday. A group of students and a few teachers produced such beautiful sculptures and were just wonderful to work with. So many different colours and fabrics used. Very definite ideas on what they wanted to make, and then at the end of the day everyone was so helpful in tidying up and helping pack the "faerie van". Thank-you all so much for such a great day!! Then on Wednesday, I was over at Wonthaggi for the May Day lunch with the Trades and Labour Council, where we so fortunate to hear Joan Coxsedge speak on "Activism in Art". She is an artist, activist and former politician. She was involved in the Save our Sons movement, opposed to conscription, during the Vietnam War. Joan was actually imprisoned for her beliefs, being one of the "Fairlea Five". Her talk about her life and travels with her artwork was so interesting. A truly inspirational woman!! As a "special" event, the Faeries will be at this market and will be featuring the work of Sharron Johnson, Rhonda Hunt, Val Prokopiv and Kaz Phillips. A great opportunity to see and purchase some work by other Powertex Trainers, just in time for Mothers Day, Saturday, 11th May at the Kay Street Gardens, Traralgon. Sculptures and art work by Val, Sharron, Kaz and Rhonda will be available, great for last minute Mothers Day Shopping. We will also have information about workshops in Traralgon, Morwell and Churchill and the Certified Powertex Trainer course information. |
