powertex in the Niagara region

We are happy to announce a new Powertex instructor and supplier in Niagara. She will be teaching in various venues throughout southwestern Ontario, including of course, Niagara Falls. 

Roberta Birnbaum is a Niagara Falls artist and instructor offering classes and workshops in: mixed media, Powertex fabric sculpture, stone art decor, paper arts, and resin.  She holds workshops in her home studio and various locations throughout the region. 

Roberta also offers 'Classes2Go' which is a service where she will come to your group (minimum 6) in your home, rec centre, school and bring an art class to you, including all supplies and tools. It is a convenient, fun and affordable way to create with friends. 

Roberta's next Powertex workshop is scheduled for February 8, 2015 at The Niagara Artists Studio, Niagara Falls. 

DecorablesArt is her company and you can check out the website at http://decorablesart.com

She encourages you to email her with any questions you may have at decorables@gmail.com or call her at 289-296-3217 or for Toronto-area callers at 416-948-0906

A funny story goes with it:

I was “garage sailing” when I came upon this wonderful rabbit.

  It was on the ground beside a couple of outdoor statues

 but as I went to go over to it the gentleman said,

  “ Before you get to excited it is just paper Mache and not stone.

 “ I smiled at him and said that’s okay how much?

 He said I should give it to you for free but how about 99 cents?

 Still smiling I said I’ll give you a dollar for it.

  This is how it turned out after POWERTEX AND ME were finished with it.

 Yesterday, a client came into the studio and offered to buy it for $75.00

but I declined saying it was for display only.

 Talk about profit!!!!!

Stone Art class held in conjunction with Art Waves West

 in Leduc, Alberta at the end of September

More pics of the Stone Art class at Art Waves West. Considering none of these people had ever handled Powertex, much less Stone Art, they produced some amazing results. We had a lot of fun... got into a bit of trouble... but laughed a lot. The class next door was not impressed with the "rowdy Powertex bunch" that laughed and giggled and disturbed them. Not sure why they were upset... isn't art supposed to be fun?
