Welcome to Ongley-Snook Designs
Wow its Hot Hot Hot.
It really feels like we've been transported to some other place , when you
walk out of an air conditioned space and the heat hits you , I'm reminded that a great many people come to our wonderful part of the world on their holidays, which is why I'm very happy spending the
summer here enjoying my garden in its most productive time, though watering can get tricky . I do try to limit my use of a home ( there isn't a ban ....yet) . But the cucumber and squashes are very
greedy so the watering can is used a lot...oh and great news , the chickens have stopped being broody , but they've not gone back to laying as it's too hot ! I'm draping the windows in the studio to
try and keep the heat down ,and I have a good fan .
I have a new type of frame on offer , they powder coated . But of good
quality and as such they are a cheaper alternative to my steel frames ( I am continuing with them , but steel prices and manufacturing have gone through the roof ) .
they feature 3 fused glass panels .
cost £95 each or £180 for a pair .
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.
