It is a very messy but extremely creative medium.
You can share the experience with someone you know who loves to create or I can arrange one to one sessions.
I will lead you through the creation of the subject possibly creating an armature adding the recycled fabric and possible embellishments.
I will then give full step by step tuition in the colouring process. Colouring is my absolute passion.
Almost all of the fabrics I use are purchased from the charity shops, as I like to use something old in my art.
I have become known in my area for recycling items into my art and often come home to find bags of goodies on the doorstep that someone has saved for me to use in my art!
Powertex is a wonderful mixed media solution which not only hardens fabric, but does so much more.
The colouring process of Powertex Fabric sculpting is the real “Wow” factor no-one can ever believe the difference the colouring makes.
There are a huge number of colouring options from flat colours through pearl colours to the metallics and a very greatly differing combination of each of these, makes your artwork totally unique!
This for me is what makes it so exciting. I am a self confessed colour queen and love lots of colour!
Many of my designs are built from scratch and you will get to see exactly how they were built.
I re-purpose glass bottles and jars, yoghurt pots, broken jewellery and watches, old ornaments and outdated glass into new and beautiful pieces of art.
Or I take fairly boring things and make them extra special using the amazing medium of Powertex.
Regardless of whether you have tried Powertex before, most people, given a reasonable degree of dexterity can achieve beautiful pieces of artwork.
Some subjects are slightly more challenging but this is usually reflected in the time they take to achieve.
Workshops of entry level subjects usually take approximately 3 to 4 hours minimum but there are a number of subjects that take considerably longer, some even over two or three days, so you can to commit to as much or as little as you like.
You can continue to learn something new from each repeat experience with Powertex.
Fabric Sculpting is very different from projects using Stone Art and 3D Flex and Mixed Media is a whole other world, so plenty to learn and keep you interested.
Not all subjects are created the in the same way.
So every project and workshop is very different.
What this means is that it is not always possible to create diversely different projects on the same day.
It might be possible if the construction methods are very similar.
Generally this results in longer times for multi project workshops and means slightly greater fee.
