It's time to believe

We are nearly at the end of our first month at Verdigris, and let me tell you it has been an amazing month. A month full of fun, humbling and far more exciting than I ever imagined. Everyday  I have had fun  being creative, everyday I have been overwhelmed by the compliments
 I have received as I  am not really good at accepting praise, and everyday I have seen the excitement and joy on others faces when they realise that they  are also creative if they just have the courage to give it  a go.

 I am so thankful to be able to share what I love doing and have it
appreciated by so many.
 It is easy to believe in yourself when you have the support of  a wonderful husband  who also believes in you.

First Week at Verdigris

Well our first week at Verdigris is nearly up and what a week, It has been so exciting and eventful.  We have had an amazing response to the studio and what we are doing there. I never anticipated the initial response as we have done no
advertising or anythimg yet. A list of names in the diary is waiting for our  return from the long awaited  holiday we are taking next week. We are off to KeriKeri for some sun, wining & dining and hopefully we will even get some fishing in. Oh and dont forget the real reason We are going "I need a hair cut" and that's where my haidresser lives.

This is a collagewith added image transfer and resin coating
Lots to do on the way, places to go & people to see to organise bits for the studio so all in all it will be a very eventful trip. Anyway on our return a definate list of classes will be posted and at this stage we are hoping to start them at the beginning of February so leave  a message, or leave a post on face book if you are interested in learning anything to do with, Working with plaster, working with resin, faux paint finishes, Background techniques, collage, altered art or basic working with encaustic wax.
If there is something else
you want to learn let us know and we will do our best to make it happen. if set classes aren't for you then maybe you would like to drop in and work with me during open hours to 
complete unfinished work or perhaps you just need a bit of motivation or inspiration to start something new.
So many options.


Its not about being the best
It's about doing your
best
so why not give it a go

This is a plaster base where the pictures and other elements are covered in encaustic wax which is a mix bees wax and damar resin. So much fun to do.

Woohoo this is it. A new year, a new beginning with Verdigris Creative Studio. Opening tomorrow 2nd January 2013, 304 Broadway, Stratford, Taranaki, New Zealand, so deep breath in and away we go.

Bring it on, 2013, there is so much to be grateful for, and with an open mind, positive attitude and forgiving heart I am ready for more adventures. With my wonderful husband at my side there is nothing that I am afraid to try and that is why it is so exciting for me to bring Verdigris to life, to encourage, and motivate others to find or awaken their inner creative so that the joy and beauty every form of Art, Craft and Creativity can be enjoyed by everyone.
 

To practice any art,

No matter how well or badly

 Is a way to make

Your soul grow

 So do it.


Kurt Vonnegut

When I refer to Art or creativity it is whatever you want it to be. It can be painting, drawing, gardening, music, sport, sewing, writing, cooking ... the list can go on forever, so pick something and play with it for a while and make it your "Art".
