Craftrange Rules

Another glorious day in the land of crafts !

Today I did Beeswax and UTEE magic at CRAFTRANGE in Burnley, Lancashire, UK.

A big thank you to my host Debbie (R) and to Janet (L) who set everything up

You enter this amazing shop and find a lovely UTEE display announcing that I'm coming

and you're greeted by a lovely staff and a wonderful array of product laid out in about 3,000 square feet of space

and the shop gives jewelry classes too

 



BUT WAIT

Just when you think you've seen it all...ta da

the shop has a CAFE...remember Eat, Pray, Love,,,well this is

eat, shop, craft....now, I ask you..does this work or what??!!

WORKS FOR ME !!!!

and, a lovely classroom with great students

who made super projects...like this beeswax collage (and I apologize for not remembering the name of the talented student who made it !)

and finding objects to mold was a huge hit

and I got lovely gifts from students, including some hand made jewelry and a super cool book (thank you guys....you know who you are !)...very appreciated.

and....I got to meet my blogging friend Paula....finally...yipee !

Tomorrow...repeat performance !

but first tonight...I am going to find American Idol on British TV if it kills me....

Hi Suze
Thanks for a fab day. I loved everything we did. The Alice Collage was mine and the almost finished piece is on my own blog now.

Oh how I wish we had a shoppe like this in our city/state/US...LOL---I may have to go and take holiday with family who live in Essex!! Suze cannot wait for your encaustic class at INSPIRED 2010...

Hi Suze it was sooooo good to meet you today; after finding out you were coming to the UK i haven't been able to keep my excitement down.  Yesterday was a dream come true, wanting to attend one of your workshops has kept me going over the last few years & when it happened it was an awesome experience.
You are a great & informative teacher who put us all at ease during the whole day. Loved learning from the 'Mistress Of The Melt Pot' & am excited to use my new skills at home.  Thank you for allowing us to use your moulds, i especially loved the Johnny Depp Mad Hatter one!!!  
I would second Jayne's comment about welcoming you back to our neck of the woods anytime & would love to take another class with you.  

I do hope you have another fantastic day @ Craftrange on Thursday.  I'm sure your students will join in the singing section with typical northern aplomb.....

Must say Craftrange was the best place i have ever attended a workshop. Their standard of customer comfort & service was second to none & enhanced the whole day.

Thank you once again, Paula the Buzz :-) xxx
