Powertex Hare or Badger- Fabric Sculpted - by Inky Escapades

Description

Come and create this fabulous 3D Patchwork Hare or Badger using Powertex to fabric sculpt the finish Anyone with a reasonable degree of dexterity, can create this. no experience necessary Please email or message me with which you would prefer to create If more than one person is attending and the choices are different for each person this will result in a longer workshop as each sculpture differs in structural design so needs extra explanation. If this is the case then there will be extra fees to be paid on the day if the course runs over the usual time frame. I will lead you through creating the armature and then adding fabric and fabric patches (all fabrics are recycled) We will use a little stone art clay for the features I will then show you how to colour the Hare or Badger using pigments and water based varnish ( this is the wow factor) Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Powertex. It is a water based, non toxic and environmentally friendly universal medium it is a liquid essentially a paint and glue combined and it is a fabric hardener, used to create 2D or 3D sculptures. Where possible I use recycled products and recycled fabrics. I haunt the charity shops for 100% cotton clothes to use in my art works. I also use broken jewellery and often re-cycle and re-purpose many items. I will supply all materials, including gloves & apron since Powertex is a messy, but extremely creative business. I will guide you through the construction/creation of the piece and the colouring process. Workshops start at 9/10am, break when all the wet work is done, so they can be dried off, and then we start the colouring, this is where the magic happens! Sometimes workshops exceed the finish time by as much as an hour please allow for this when booking.

My Powertex workshops will give you a window into your own personal creativity. I will offer you the tools and instruction to create fabulous works of art; beware though as Powertex is a very addictive hobby and you may find yourself consumed by its magic.
