  Looking for an point of interest on your 
  

  outdoor wall or fence?  Come and experience the fun of working with Powertex, a liquid that will harden cotton material permanently, and also make it impervious to rain and snow.  All necessary materials will be provided for this class, though you may wish to bring a piece of jewellery to add something special to you piece.  I will have some pieces of jewellery you can chose from as well.  This is a fun project especially when you come with your friends.  
  

  Long plastic aprons will be supplied for everyone. It is strongly recommended that you do not dress in “good clothes” in case Powertex gets on your clothing!  

  
  

  Please bring a large piece of cardboard or an old hard plastic road sign that you have covered in plastic with you to work on.  That way you will be able to bring your finished piece home with you at the end of the class.
