I am in love with Powertex after the class. We all I think were amazed how easy it was to produce amazing figurines. Rachel made the class both informative and fun. Will definitely be doing more Powertex classes.

Fantastic class. Easy to follow. Impressed at what can be achieved. I had never done anything like it and immensely enjoyed it.

I had such a lovely day making my powertex figurine. I love it! Rachel is so creative and also a wonderfully patient and inspirational teacher. I always enjoy her classes but this was the first time I had been to the Thames Ditton studio - it is so cute! I will definitely be back.

I have admired Powertex figurines by an artist for many years. Rachel's class showed me how easy it is to create your own pieces and have fun! Excellent, I'd definitely do it again and try other classes.
Margaret Traxler - 2 November 2021
I attended a Powertex class on Sunday the 31st October which I enjoyed so much. I learnt so many different techniques taught to me by a brilliant teacher Rachel Pullen. It was all so calm and friendly. Thank you from Maggie Traxler.

Great Powertex session with Rachel. Amazed that I could go home with something so impressive and it was a fantastic medium to work with. Cant wait to do more crafting!
Arielle - 25 January 2019
I never expected a single class had so much scope for creativity! Really informative class and the skill was easy to pick up for the non-expert. Rachel was very knowledgeable and supported us all well, our final pieces completed in 5 hours and uniquely different from each other -I got a few new ideas from watching my classmates too! From one class alone I feel confident and can't wait to pursue new projects inspired by the material. I am very interested in coming back to Craft My Day to see what else I can take up.

Very interesting class! I made a 1 foot tall sculpture I could take home with me! Great stuff, you learn all about Powertex - fabric hardening paint and powder inks. Happy to go again!
