Post by: Graham Lee on January 26, 2017, 10:49:19 AM
Roger Daws Workshop, from "Ordinary to Extraordinary" Roger will be running you
through some simple line work designs to up-scaling the same design for that more
impressive look and then taking that same design again and turning it into a table centre piece.

Now home from another great day. Not only picking up little things throughout the lecture but also meeting new faces as well. Thanks Graham for organising another success. And also to my second favourite woman for my golden bunny :-)

Just got home from the day. We have never known so many motorways closed in one night.
The M1, M6 in tow places, the M5, the M3 in two places and the M25.

I think we ended up with a 30 minute extension to the journey but all safe.

Thanks to all who attended, I had a fab time with plenty of fun banter throughout the day.

Will start posting pictures tomorrow.

Here we go then, some pictures form the day.

I thought it was a very informative day with Roger going through why he does things in etc in a very detailed way.

From how he arrived and set up.

The picturesque garden outside the hall. Later there was hail stones and snow,
on the drive home we had the most forceful downpour of rain that we have seen in ages.

It was a funny moment with Leonie and Roger, made everyone laugh.

Roger went into great detail about his set up etc which was very interesting,
it was then onto candy cup designs and how if you did not want to
make them up yourself how you could buy the ready sealed.

I think Ine made the Spiderman with the rolled 260 or the head.

The last picture, it looks like it's out of focus/moving but it's the way the light is catching the black balloon.

My go at Roger's Spiderman design,
I must make this for the real world as I do not make Spiderman at the moment.

Dave went vintage on minnie with the old classic black and white design
before colour was invented.

Abi won the competition, you had to use a minimum of two pearl azure in the design.

It was a fantastic prize with two broken pumps, some quick links and two half bags of metallic balloons.
I think that was the prize, it was a couple of weeks back now.
