How To Fall In Love - With Powertex!

Hi Everyone,

What a week it has been!

You know how I've been playing with Powertex? Well that relationship between me and the waterbased, non-toxic & environmentally friendly sculpting medium took a huge step forward this week and I'm delighted to tell you that Powertex & I are now in a long term relationship. This week I became a Certified Powertex Tutor!

To gain my certification I had to drive down to Powertex UK's HQ just outside Redditch. There, I and 11 others met with Tracey Evans, the fabulously talented lady behind PowertexUK.  Tracey was so inspiring, and her workshop is packed to the rafters with the most amazing Powertex art. Here are just a few of her amazing creations.

Over two day's Tracey guided us through lots of techniques and taught us all about Powertex. It really is amazing what this product can do and it's so easy to use that even children can, under supervision, create amazing pieces of art. And did you know that after 3 weeks Powertex is weatherproof (with the exception of the transparent version) and can be displayed outside?

To gain my certification I had to produce 5 pieces of Powertex art over the 2 days which is no mean feat especially given the 30 degrees plus temperature those days and Frankie's bowel issues (that's Tracey's dog, not another one of our group!). With Tracey's expert help, and copious cups of coffee supplied by the fabulous team at Powertex HQ (big shout out to Garry, Chloe, Claire & Michelle) the 5 projects where completed.

I'm only giving you little glimpses of some of my projects as it was such a hectic couple of days that I forgot to take photos but I will share the others in later blogs.

Now that I am a certified Powertex Tutor I will be offering workshops, classes, demonstrations and Poweretex Parties at my workshop in Craftsite, Cramlington Northumberland or in your own homes / craft group premises.
