One of my favourite places to run Powertex sculpting workshops is at the beautiful Woodlands Lodge Hotel on the outskirts of the New Forest. Whilst doing a fairy sculpting workshop there recently, a young bride to be approached me to ask if I had ever considered doing center pieces for bridal tables. The answer was no, I hadn’t, but it was certainly something that I could do.
A few days later, I was back at the Woodlands for a Networking Mummies New Forest meeting. I mentioned to people there that I was considering looking into this, and the response was very encouraging. From that meeting I travelled down to Southsea to a gorgeous little shop called Shop Southsea tucked away in the Castle Road part of town. Shop Southsea are now stocking some of my angel sculptures, if you intend to go there I recommend putting away a good portion of time, because once in this treasure trove you can easily while away a good hour looking at the unique and quirky local art they have on display.
Dragging myself away from Shop Southsea before I spent all my money, I had a little mooch through some of the vintage and second hand shops in the area, and was delighted to find a small piece of material that almost jumped into my hands, begging to be made into a wedding center piece
It was almost like serendipity, I immediately saw in my mind’s eye what I was going to create with it. Meet Belinda, my beautiful bride.
If you would like something similar for your own wedding, then please do get in touch. Or even better, I can teach you to make your own unique bridal center piece, or how about a hen party with a difference, where you can work together to create all sorts of wonderful bridal sculptures? I am truly excited about this new outlet for Powertex sculpting.
