Thank you for this wonderful online art workshop. Ashley explains in a very easy and inspiring way step by step in the creative process. The course was also very affordable. I highly recommend it!
Steampunk is my passion & after watching Ashley’s presentation at my friends art group I was blown away by what was possible. Last weekend I learnt how to create the rustic look… loving that one product is not only a paint & glue, but can easily become a clay too. OMG & I just discovered Steampunk heaven yesterday when I created my new look bag! Thank you Ashley for all the hints & for sharing your passion.
I’m just a newbie to Powertex, but having a instructor that has a wealth of knowledge of this product & as an artist herself so effortless she guides through the process. Questions are encouraged & answered always made feel welcomed. I’m learning lots from her sharing her world.
I have just done my first Powertex workshop. Ashley is an incredible teacher and the products are AMAZEBALLS. So many applications. As a mixed media artist, this has opened up another world of creative possibilities. I’m smitten!

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…
