Encaustic Workshop

Hi I have just got back from the sunny climes of Haslingden!

I ran an encaustic wax workshop for a lovely set of ladies who are also carers or have been carers in the past.

The day went well, with most of the ladies making earrings or pendants. One lady started a lovely bangle for her little Great Grandaughter in delicate pinks and silver using foam board, whilst another lady decided jewellery was too fiddly and made 3 bookmarks.

Below are some photos taken on the day.

Hopefully many will wear their precious unique earrings and pendants with pride.

The Embroiderers Guild are holding exhibitions all over the country which will run together with  Capability Brown's anniversary.

I have been working on a few pieces and below are  my latest
