THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!

Well, we are just weeks away from the Craft and Quilt Fair at the Exhibition Centre in Melbourne. It is getting very exciting and I am pleased to announce a new website and lots of new training and workshops dates as well as a streamlined booking form for workshops!!

It has been a very busy week coordinating all of this and lots of hours in front of the computer working on the website instead of being down in the studio. All worthwhile though.


I will be at a number of new venues after the Craft and Quilt Fair for workshops and the Certified Powertex Trainer Course. The new venues are:
  • Daylesford Neighbourhood House
  • Rosewall Neighbourhood Centre, Corio - to cater for everyone down Geelong way
  • Gasworks Art Park at Albert Park
I will be running the Certified Powertex Trainer Course at Wyreena Community Arts Centre, Croydon, as well as Daylesford and Geelong.

And of course, I will be teaching from the studio in Churchill, perfect for small groups.

Level 3 for Joy

I had such a lovely day yesterday, working with Joy Tedjosiswoyo, our Powertex trainer in Thomastown.

Joy travelled up from Melbourne yesterday by train, to join me in the Churchill studio, to complete here Level 3.

Her beautiful piece features the Yin and Yang Koi fish and one of the Powertex Buddhas.

To complete the ocean theme, there is a collection shells and seaweed on the ocean floor. A lovely piece, although I did not envy her of the task to transport it back home via the train.

Joy will be completing Level 4 - Powerprint,  in two weeks time, and already has her photo to be used chosen. I am sure it is going to be another stunning piece. Congratulations Joy!!

Had a great weekend working with Jan Drougas from Beaumaris on 29th/30th March while she completed Level 3 and 4 of the Certified Powertex Training Course.

Jan is an amazingly talented lady, who makes the quirkiest little birds you will ever see (pictured below), as well as many beautiful sculptures.

You will get to meet Jan and see her amazing work at the Quilt and Craft Fair in June, as part of the Victorian Powertex team.
Congratulations Jan!!

introducing the "faerie canaries"

When I am not making Faerie Bears, I am playing with Powertex. It is so good to be back down in the studio creating.
 
Let me introduce "Rough Red", "Goldiwho?" and "I've got the blues".
 
Other designs will be available and they can be done in any colour combination. Finished off with Powercotton for feathers and StoneArt air-dry clay for the wings and beak.  

These crazy birds will be available as a half day workshop and also available on a Monday night, at the Churchill studio. Larger birds can be made on request, up to 1 metre tall.

Once cured they will be available to go out in your garden on the stand  or can be made to hang in a tree or under a pergola. I have a couple under construction that will be in full flight.

I am starting to pack and get organised for what will be a busy weekend.

On Saturday, the Faeries will be at the "End of the Line" Festival in Belgrave. This should be the most amazing event. So many mazing  performances, art displays and activities and of course a makers market, that I will be at.

End of the Line Website and Program

Then on Sunday, I will be at the fabulous Yarra Glen market, with Craft Markets Australia. A great opportunity to finish off your Christmas shopping in the beautiful Yarra Valley.

Over the last few days I have been making a few different things for the market at Hanging Rock on Sunday.

Some candle holders, Yin and Yang inspired sculptures, Buddha candle holders and some new wall art. A nice change!! I will have to take photos of the other things on Sunday, as they are already packed into the van.

For anyone after a great day on Sunday, the Hanging Rock Market should be fabulous. Hope the rain stays away!! Lots of stall holders and of course, Hanging Rock as the most spectacular backdrop for this market.

For more information, link to the Craft Markets Australia page here.

I have just had another great weekend training, as Bev Fothergill, from Craigieburn, completed Level Three and Four of the Certified Powertex Trainer Course.

Bev's work is just beautiful. Her painting skills with her PowerPrint Level 4 piece are fabulous!!

Knowing that I had a bag of dried flowers "somewhere under a spare bed", discovered all kinds of goodies in a bag that I had forgotten about,, to help Bev finish of the foreground on her PowerPrint - expect lots of work with dried flowers over the coming weeks!!

Next weekend I will be at the fabulous Hanging Rock market, with Craft Markets Australia. Haven't done this one before, and am looking forward to the weekend away as well.

Congratulations Bev!!
