In a sunny lodge on a hillside strung with vintage bunting, with floor-to-ceiling windows letting the light pour in, and a wooden deck perfect for tea breaks, a group of lovely ladies worked some kind of creative poetry. The delicate dreamy work that came out of Priscilla Jones’s class wouldn’t be out of place in Alice in Wonderland. It took a variety of fascinating techniques – painting with feathers on tissue paper, sculpting with florist’s wire, adding hot wax and a little bit of love…  and beauty emerged.  Here’s a sneak peek at a unique and inspiring class from a very gifted teacher…
