Good Morning
from
Arundel Eccentrics
How are you?
I hope life is treating you well.
It's been a busy couple of weeks
and hence some while since I blogged.
Paint workshops
We had a paint workshop this week.
Two people for two days
who appeared to get along
well and have fun with the
paint, gilt, crackle glaze, decoupage and craquelure.
Patrick turned these.............
and Nicky turned these.............
into these.................
but coming along a treat hey?
I am working on some new dates and ideas.
Here is a three day event that you might be interested in.
Normally, a day is £95.
That includes all materials,
(apart from your items of furniture) and vegetarian lunch.
The three day event is £180.
It's a Friday, Saturday & Sunday
for those who work all week.
