Unleash your artistic talent and join us for a captivating figure sculpting workshop where creativity meets sustainability.

Get ready to create a stunning figurine while making a positive impact on the environment. No previous skills are required – we provide a plaster head and upcycle a wine bottle for the base, allowing you to create something truly unique!

Combining the art of draping fabric with the unique properties of Powertex, a versatile and fabric-hardening medium, you'll craft a figurine that exudes beauty and grace. Learn the art of creating an armature, shaping and sculpting your figurine, and applying the finishing touches through dry brushing techniques.

At our workshops, we not only focus on unleashing your creativity but also emphasize the importance of recycling and upcycling.
By incorporating a wine bottle as the base for your figurine and repurposing fabrics that would otherwise go to landfill, we give new life to discarded materials, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. It's a wonderful way to showcase how art and recycling can harmoniously come together.

This full-day workshop allows for an immersive experience, ensuring you have ample time to bring your vision to life. We provide a half hour-long lunch break to allow for drying time, so you can step back and admire the progress of your creation.

At our workshops, we love to adapt to the seasons and cater to different tastes. Keep an eye out for a spooky version of Death in October, a Christmas Angel in December, and stunning African sculptures during the summer months. However, the choice is always yours. Feel free to create the statue that resonates with you, and with our small groups, you'll receive plenty of personal attention and guidance.

Let's not forget the remarkable qualities of Powertex. Here are some key things you should know:

It's water-based, ensuring ease of use and clean up.
It's non-toxic, making it safe for you and the environment.
It's environmentally friendly, allowing you to create art with a conscience.
Powertex serves as a universal medium, providing you with the ability to sculpt fabric and bring your artistic visions to life.
It acts as a liquid that can harden natural fibers, including textiles, paper, card, and leather, allowing for durability and structure.
It's a brilliant way to upcycle old fabrics and breathe new life into junk!
Powertex enables you to create weatherproof art, making it perfect for outdoor garden ornaments, signs, and more.

Join us for this captivating figure sculpting workshop and immerse yourself in the world of Powertex.

Don't miss this chance to unleash your creativity, learn new techniques, and make a positive impact on the environment. Reserve your spot today and embark on a transformative artistic journey!
