Powertex Retreat Day 2

Another exciting day at Powertex HQ with our hosts Tracy and Gary.

Today saw Thelma and myself getting up at the craic of dawn to go car booting at the local Slough car boot sale. I have never seen anything like it, so many bargains and items to be repurposed, so little hand luggage to get it all home.

At 10 o'clock we started a new project with our tutor Tracy. The art we made today was using the new Powertex texture products.



As you can see everyone was having a grand time, getting creative as usual.

Powertex Retreat

This weekend Thelma and I headed to Slough England for the annual Powertex UK retreat.

Tracy and Gary proved excellent hosts, they had organised an action packed weekend.

Saturday was a hilarious afternoon with Birde Haywood, the Queen of Polymer Clay.
Birde taught us how to make realistic faces and bodies from polymer clay to enhance our POwertex figures.

The class was excellent and Thelma and I learned loads of tips and tricks.

Birde also treated us to a workshop to make a fish from black polymer clay and then highlight it with the Powertex colouring products.

Below is the fish I made





The evening ended with a massive barbecue.

 All the Powertex ladies had brought homemade cakes and bakes, salads and all manner of foodie delights. All delicious indeed.

Cannot wait to do it all again next year.
