Transform a plain vase/ornament into a stunning, sculptural masterpiece!

Join us for a truly enchanting creative experience where you’ll learn how to turn an ordinary vase/ornament into a magical, textured work of art with a beautiful fungi theme. Using a variety of mixed media techniques, you’ll sculpt, layer, and bring your unique design to life – all under the expert guidance of fully trained and certified Powertex Tutors.

What You’ll Learn & Create:
 How to use Powertex and mixed media to alter and sculpt a plain vase/ornament
 Techniques for adding texture, dimension, and intricate details
 Ways to create a realistic fungi-inspired design with depth and character

All products and equipment are included in the price.

Refreshments will be provided and there will be a short break for lunch so please bring a packed lunch (please no nuts or popcorn due to a serious allergy).

The cost of this workshop is £65 per person. A £10 non refundable (but transferrable) deposit will secure your place. The balance is then due on the day.

Spaces are limited – please note that we need 2 people to be able to run this workshop. This will be held in our upstairs studio (if stairs are a problem, please speak to us as we can relocate downstairs).

You will be supported through each stage of the sculpture, from building the base to working with clay and adding colour.

No previous experience is necessary, you will be given guidance to understand the techniques and complete your ornament with step-by-step instructions.

Please note – if you have a nut allergy, the Bister sprays that we are using contain crushed walnut shells. You are welcome to bring a mask if preferred (the room will be well ventilated).

This is a great workshop, using a range of different techniques, including stencils, structure paste, rice paper, bister sprays and Powertex. Recycled fabrics are used together with zips and a variety of embellishments. You even shape the craft foam using files, so the finished look is entirely in your hands.

There is a range of rice papers available and a great selection of colours.

Cost of £50 includes all materials, tuition and refreshments throughout the day. Please bring a packed lunch with you (we kindly ask for no nuts or popcorn due to a serious allergy).

We work alongside you on the day and go through each step with you.

Powertex is the environmentally friendly water based textile hardener which can harden a variety of materials with many uses.

It can be a messy craft but very addictive and with great results. An apron and gloves will be provided, please wear old clothes.
