A Student's Wax Books

I love when I get to see the 

end result of a workshop

I have given

These images are all the work of Louise Plint

who hosted my Wax and Plaster Book workshop

held in Ingham last month

They very beautiful

The beginnings can be seen 

in the other two posts about this workshop

1 and 2

I am very impressed with the finished result

It is such a fun medium to work with

a bit of plaster bandage 

some milk paints

some pigments and

some wax

So far I have two workshops in this technique 

scheduled for next year

at ContextArt

and

Wrapt in Rocky

I am very much looking forward to seeing

the results from those

Teaching in Portugal

How lucky am I  that next year not only to I get to visit my Sister and Father who now live in Portugal but I also get the opportunity to teach there as well.

 I will be at the teaching at the Pink Buddha Art Studio in Lousada, near Porto, for the lovely Linda Chaves.
I am so very excited. All the fabulous details here

We plan on arriving in Barcelona at the beginning of September here I will be able to finally see the works of Gaudi, who I have long admired and then we plan on travelling up to the coast to San Sebastian. From there we hope to see as much of the Spanish north coast as possible then around the corner and down to Porto, where I will be teaching a 5 day eco-dyeing class. And then it will be down towards Lisbon for the family visit before flying back to Oz.

So if anyone has any must see ideas please let me know.

Let the planning begin. So excited

Plaster and Wax, The Results

I know you are all eager for this one

AS were my students

when they arrived fresh and eager at the start of the day

But then I gave then way to many ideas

but they came through winners in the end

I won't be naming names.

They know who they are

So now I have lots of new ideas

to play with

and soon I will be able to talk about

a Natural Dye Workshop

I am planning

for next year

in Portugal

yes

a overseas trip is in the pipeline

oh happy days
