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. So pleased to announce that I am back doing Monday night workshops from next week. I am aware that many people cant attend workshops during the week, and as I have a lot of market and workshop commitments of a weekend, so Monday nights can be the perfect solution. You can take as long as you need to complete your project and starting time is anytime after 6.30. You pay per sculpture, not for the number of nights it takes!!. A pleasant way to spend a Monday evening and perfect for those cold, winter nights rapidly approaching. Get together with a group of friends or just come along and meet some new ones!! I am limiting the workshop size to four people, so bookings are essential. So pleased to announce that we have another new Powertex Trainer, Karell "Kaz" Phillips from Traralgon. I have had the best few days, working with a lovely group of friends on Friday, a bit of a "play day". Just working in the studio, doing our own things, but sharing ideas, trying different techniques, seeing the outcomes of other workshops - thanks Sharron for giving us so many ideas in regard to making your own fabric, and generally solving the problems of the world over numerous cups of coffee. And then on the weekend, had the pleasure of taking Kaz through the Powertex training program, She now has Level One and Two!! Well done Karell!! So enthusiastic, Karell has already started her own Facebook business page, check out https://www.facebook.com/quintessentialessenceofexpression |
