Welcome to Ongley-Snook Designs
Summer has arrived . Finally we have some warm weather and calmer times. Saying that we seem to have had more than our fair share of wind ( I really don't cope with it , it jangles me ).We've
been working hard on the new seating area with the chickens . Almost all who have become broody which is very frustrating. But I get them up ever morning so they eat and stretch their legs. The
garden is full and abundant, we have lots of tomatoes, salad leaves , courgettes ,cucumbers and chillies growing. I just love this time of year .It's all Summer is always a busy time , the garden
events start and the art trails . I've tried to pare back these this year , though I've already done 2 trails. Plus some extra shows .
I had the pleasure in visiting the Chichester Cathedral Festival of flowers . There were some truly wonderful arrangements, breathtaking, so full of colour . It must have taken such a lot of hard
work.just wonderful .
so, I'm st West Wittering this weekend for a summer exhibition . There will be 12 artists showing their work. It's always a lovely show . Time to catch up with some great people ....oh and
there's cake .It's all very exciting.
New workshops and classes .
Along with the existing workshops on offer I will also be running paper clay ( the ultimate recycling project- start collecting your egg boxes now, But don’t worry I have lots).
Where you can make bowls , mirror/ picture frames .
Also make it shiny days , where you can transform a pair of shoes or a handbag .
( leather or synthetic ones not suede) we will be using gilding papers and gilding size , there are so many colours and effects we can use , it will definitely spark joy . So let’s let the bling in .
So look out for the dates coming up for those.
I am posting the new dates for the make your own column days . Along with some exhibition dates though of course some of these might change . As ever if there isn’t a date that suits , just message me and I will try to sort it for you.
For the other classes and workshops I will continue to hold those as and when they are requested.
It’s so good to finally feel well and full of optimism.
Copper foiling flowers and fish .
Come and make these jolly flowers using traditional copper foiling techniques. Cutting and grinding the glass shapes.
First design your flower or fish , we then use outliners to add detail. whilst we enjoy a hearty lunch the pieces are fixed in the oven , We use copper tape and solder to finish them off by
attaching them to rods and wires.
I warn you though, it's quite addictive.
