Welcome to Ongley-Snook Designs
Welcome to spring, you can't help but feel uplifted by the increases light, bird song and the burgeoning plantlife around us . I was very privileged to attend a spring equinox supper where everything
was grown or produced in Sussex . We even had home made butter ! As you would imagine the colour theme was green , so I feel inspired to make some green glass now !
The workshops have started well and I'm working on new pieces for the various exhibitions that are coming up fast .
so if you feel inspired to try why not come and play in the Audrey studio, a warm welcome awaits .
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.
The garden is full of promise , with green shoots bursting through the soil , there are primroses and the scent of sweet box and Daphne on the breeze . The cardoon plant is already huge and the
hellebores and snowdrops bring such joy . we have 4 new hens ( sadly we lost our last very old hen coco in October) they are a mixed flock of feathered footed bantams -shortly they will move into a
new hen house but are already showing they’re different personalities, I can loose hours just sitting and watching them .
It’s so good to finally feel well and full of optimism.
I am very excited to announce a new workshop on offer - 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.
