Industrial Mixed media stix 2 workshop

Well after three days, 400 miles of driving on our mad roads, two demonstrations and two workshops I am now back home to a pile of paperwork.

Hello to everyone I met at BarjanB Crafts on Friday, such a friendly bunch and I was very well looked after by Barry and Maureen so thank you.

On Saturday I went down to the Craft barn for a demonstration, this book which I made on the day I have called the book of evolution because it went from acrylic paint to spray dies... these were a little too bright for my liking so it was back to washes of acrylic over the top, dry brushing and then archival ink.
This morning I was still unhappy with it so the paint was back out again!.... Kinda like it now :)

I had a great day on Sunday holding my first Stix 2 workshop.
We used Stix 2 Texture Mounting sheets which I had pre-printed a background design onto, so everyone started of with the same background, here are their finished paintings all now very individual!

Thanks for reading,

Andy

Fancy a dabble?

Have you ever fancied dabbling in ceramic decoration but after seeing the costs of kilns and equipment been put off?
Then this maybe good news for you if in the Surrey area!
I am going to be running a series of six ceramic design evening workshops at the Old Dairy Studios in Oxted Surrey starting on Thursday August 23rd 7pm – 10pm and each month there after.

The classes will start with underglaze application, layering underglaze and rubber stamping with Duncan EZ onto a vase, the classes will progress with advanced techniques.

Your finished pieces will be glazed and fired in the Old Dairy Studios kiln for you after decoration.
Discounts are offered if you book all six although you can book the workshops individually.
Ceramic paints and pottery will also be available for students to purchase at discounted rates allowing you to use the techniques at home and the Old Dairy will fire your piece for you when you have finished…. Ideal for Christmas gifts!
