Fancy a Tipple?

Hi everyone,

Well the feedback on the workshop poll was 100% positive so I have decided to go ahead with the Evil Elixir Mixer workshop, I do hope some of you join in as I have put so much work into this project it would be a shame for it not to continue…. Hey… no pressure of course! lol
I have been teaching workshops now for over 10 years but never online so here goes!

My schedule for September is pretty hectic so the start date will be October 4th, this will take us straight into Halloween which is absolutely perfect!

I have to say this has been a hard decision for me but, I honestly think with all the media that is now available to put online, this is going to be fun!
The problem with running a one day workshop in altering is the drying time, believe me you do have to plan for this. With an online course the problem simply disappears, none of you will be arriving late completely stressed out after driving in rush hour traffic for miles on end, having to book the day of work or arrange for babysitters.. You can all work at your own pace and even have a glass of wine along the way! I am completely converted!

I will see you on the dark side… Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

Details of the workshop are listed below

Introductory Cost £18.00!

Upon registration you will be sent an invite to the workshop site, here you will find a materials list, much of which you will probably have lying around in the garage. I have also put the materials list at the bottom of this post. There is also a link to where you can get hold of the rare product once you have registered!
Please note the invite is not automated so will not be immediate, I have to invite you personally..Its much warmer that way don't you think!
In this workshop we are going to alter a plain bottle in a way that the paint is NOT going to scratch off! You will be free to use whatever colours and design you wish along with the techniques shown.
One of the products you will be using, I know for fact that there are only 21 bottles left in the UK at this present moment so it's first come first served. For those of you outside the UK I do have an alternative you can use. Anyone in the states will have no problem getting hold of this product… can you guess where it comes from yet :)

The Workshop will run for a total of 28 days, after this time the information will be removed along with your access. This will give you plenty of time to fully complete the project.
The online site is now fully functional and will include on launch day, photographic instructions, Video, Pdf downloads, artwork and a chat box where you can talk to me when I'm available.
A private forum which I will monitor has also been set up. Here you can interact and discuss matters involving the workshop with other likeminded delegates.

Unfortunately refunds will not be accepted.
