Ashley and Powertex are a hidden gem! I’m always on the lookout for different mediums and classes to try my hand at that are affordable and cost effective, Lady in Rags delivers all of this and more! It was a fabulous workshop that even the most novice of craft people can do and have a beautiful sculpture to show for it!
I do a lot of craft, but nothing like the “Powertex Lady in Rags”. I didn’t think I would have been able to make such a fun and beautiful piece of art, but with Ashley’s workshop guidance, and personal help, I have my first piece of art that takes centre stage on my mantle. It was so much fun & easier than I thought that I booked in for the Christmas Angel course as well.
I really loved the Lady in Rags workshop… my first statue ever and what a great success! The workshop has given me such confidence and inspiration for my own work, I have learnt so many techniques and new ways to do things … highly recommended! Under Ashley’s guidance you can create absolutely anything!

Your Instructor
Ashley Hay
My work as an artist comes from my love of nature as a source of inspiration to express my spirituality, a sense of ‘story’ and ‘place’, remembered or imagined, and the beauty of life. Focusing on light, colour and texture from the macro environment, found objects and the wider landscape as a whole, I create imagery that is an intuitive response to my surroundings, composed in a contemporary expressionist style.
I have always enjoyed discovering new ways of creating that are outside of the square, and following a lifetime exploring diverse mixed media techniques, I have developed an extensive visual language of alternative art surfaces and rich textures. My paintings are highly textured and quite sculptural. My work is diverse, challenging the boundaries between drawing, painting and sculpture and the ambiguity between abstraction and realism.
My objective is to evoke a sense of memory in the viewer as their story connects with my story, whereby they engage, relate to and are impacted by the imagery. I see Art like theatre, as opening the curtain on the beauty of life…
