Powertex

Curious about Powertex? 

Would you like to learn more about it and how you can use it? 

Then join us on one of our Introduction to Powertex evenings – you will learn all about Powertex and use a variety of techniques, all ready for you to take home on the evening and ready to take you forward onto another workshop.

We usually have at least one Introductory workshop every month (see our What’s On page), but if you don’t see a date that suits you, please contact us as we may be able to add another date.

 

Powertex is the environmentally friendly, water-based textile hardener which can harden absorbent materials such as textiles, fabric, cloth, paper, cardboard, leather and fiberglass.

Powertex can be easily combined with self-hardening clays, concrete, stone, ceramic, wood, sand and Stone Art.

Powertex is used for making sculptures, paintings, decorative objects and jewellery.

Both Kaz & Annie are certified Level 4 Powertex Tutors for Fabric Sculpting, Mixed Media, 3D Flex and Stone Art and host regular workshops; see our What’s On page for details.   If you see something you would like to create and we don’t have a workshop listed, please speak to us as we can arrange workshops to suit you.

Although we are not stockists, you are able to order Powertex through us if you wish and if attending a workshop, we do have a range of pigments etc for sale.

Powertex Workshop Terms and Conditions

All our workshops take place in our upstairs studio – if stairs are a problem, please contact us, as we may be able to run some workshops downstairs.  Our workshops are suitable for ages 9 upwards (children will require an adult to accompany them).

Photos shown advertising the workshops are examples and if different themes are available, it will be mentioned in the workshop details.

A deposit of £10 is required on booking your workshop.  This is non-refundable but if you do have to cancel (obviously, we appreciate that life gets in the way) we will transfer it to another workshop, to be used within a year and will try our best to put on the same workshop again for you.

Deposits can be paid by cash or card in the studio, by BACS or card over the phone.  The full balance is payable at the beginning of the workshop.

If we have to cancel a workshop, then an alternative date will be offered, if this is not suitable then we will refund your deposit.

All our workshops require two people to be able to run them, we may at times run two workshops alongside each other to save cancelling any planned workshops.

Powertex is a fabric hardening liquid and we recommend wearing old clothes, if the Powertex gets onto your clothing it will not wash out.  We supply gloves and aprons.

Refreshments are included throughout the workshop and if it is a full day workshop please bring a packed lunch (no nuts or nut products please due to a serious allergy).

Any questions please speak to us.
