New Training Program and workshops

3/8/2014

Hi everyone, hope all of my fellow Victorians are managing to keep warm with this cold snap we are having at the moment. I am finally over this horrible flu, that put me out of action for a few weeks. Finally feeling like getting back down to the studio, I  had a lovely 'play day' on Friday, doing a little bit of felting, with one of my friends. Scarves were produced and lots of fun had!!

Some changes to the training program. Most people are aware that I usually only do the Certified Powertex Trainer Course from the home studio.

I will be travelling to Daylesford and doing Level One and Two there, on Saturday, 23rd and Sunday, 24th  of August, at the Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre. So for those people north of Melbourne, it is a fabulous opportunity to do the course and not have to travel to Gippsland. Places are still available.

Now that I am "flu-free" and not at risk of passing it on to anyone, I am available for workshops again on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Arty Parties are still happening. Bring along four of your friends to the Churchill studio and get your workshop for FREE. This applies to any of the workshops that I do, including the new ones.


And what are the new ones? I will be taking the following new workshops:
  • "Faeries Bearies" - needle felted over calico. They can be as bright and colourful as you wish and done in three different sizes, priced accordingly.
  • "Faerie Canaries" - the Powertex/StoneArt creations that are a bit of fun for your garden and finally, I am going back to doing the Polymer Clay/Air-dried Clay workshops that led me to fabric sculptures
  • "Faerie Creations" workshops. Working with polymer clay, I will take you through the process of creating your own magical faerie or mythical being - or Santa, just in time for Christmas!!

And the new training days are as follows:

Powertex Sculpture Class at Gasworks, Albert Park - Sunday, 31st August

New Certified Powertex Trainer Course dates are:
Level 1 & 2
Monday, 18th and Tuesday, 19th August - at the Churchill studio
Saturday, 23rd and Sunday 24th August -  Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre
Monday, 1st  and Tuesday, 2nd September - at the Churchill Studio
Saturday, 13th and Sunday, 14th September - at the Churchill Studio
Monday, 29th and Tuesday, 30th September - at the Churchill studio

Level 3 & 4:
Wednesday, 20th and Thursday, 21st August - at the Churchill studio
Wednesday, 3rd and Thursday, 4th September - at the Churchill studio
Wednesday, 1st and Thursday, 2nd October - at the Churchill studio
Saturday, 4th and Sunday, 5th October - at the Churchill Studio
Saturday, 25th and Sunday, 26th October - at the Churchill studio

Welcome to all the new "likers"

I would like to welcome all of the new likers to the Facebook page. I can remember how excited I was when it got to 100 likers and now we are headed to 1000!!
 965 to be precise.

Follow this link and pop over to the website too! All of the new workshop information is there, as well as an online booking form to stream-line the process.

What a productive weekend it has been. Boxes packed, suitcase kind of half-packed, sculptures and art work ready to go to the Craft and Quilt Fair at the Exhibition Centre in Melbourne.

Thanks to Val for helping yesterday with the wrapping of the artworks and to Tina, my sister in law for sorting the wine bottles for the pop-up workshops that will be happening during the Fair. Not quite the 60 required, but then there is always dinner each night!

If you come to the Craft and Quilt Fair, be sure to drop by the Powertex Australia stand. Meet some of the other Powertex Trainers in Victoria : Sharron, Val, Joy, Bev, Jan and Marg. There will be workshops happening all day. A great opportunity to try the fabulous range of Powertex products.

I had such a lovely day yesterday, dropping off work to the various shops and galleries that stock my sculptures.

Great to go and see the beautiful work at the Artisans Store at the Old Butter Factory at Mirboo North, have a scrumptious lunch with Heather from Heathers Café, Craft and Wool in Korumburra, a chat with Faye, from B'Zarte at Jindivick and some more work into the Baw Baw Arts Alliance Hub at Yarragon.

A big day, no wonder I feel so tired!!


This weekend I also have work in at the Mirboo North Arty Gras Art Show and this month in at the "Hot to Trot" exhibition at BBAA.

Today I will be finalising dates for Term 3, after the Craft and Quilt Fair in Melbourne.  I will be back at Wyreena on for workshops and the Powertex Trainer Course, as well as in Geelong and the Daylesforrd area. More details soon!!

How fabulous to see Powertex Australia at so many Stiches and Craft Shows and Quilt and Craft Fairs throughout Australia and New Zealand next year.

I am so excited about being at both major shows next year with Ashley, the Importer/Owner of Powertex Australia in Melbourne next year.

The Quilt and Craft Fair will be on from Thursday, 26th to Sunday, 29th of June and the Stiches and Craft Show is at Caulfield Race Course from Thursday, 23rd to Sunday, 26th of October.
2014 will be a great Powertex year!!

Some work from the fair

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!!

How fantastic does the Powertex stand, at the Craft and Quilt Fair look??

What a huge job, many hours of work,  lots of laughter, frustration at trying to get the artwork to hang straight, boxes everywhere, things missing, scissors gone AWOL, and finally a display that looks wonderful.

Featuring artwork by some of the Victorian Powertex Team, there are many beautiful examples for to inspire you, demonstrating what can be achieved with the fabulous Powertex range of products.

There are lots of great show "specials", and workshops and demonstrations throughout the day.

Every day, I will be doing a "Christmas in July" Christmas Bauble demonstration,  and a fabric tealight holder workshop. Ash will be doing a Powerprint demonstration daily and a beautiful mask workshop tomorrow at 4.00pm.
Looking forward to a fabulous four days!!
