I have travelled up to Edinburgh to take part in Robert Dancik’s ‘faux bone’ workshop and have spent a day learning a little bit about this very interesting material. Under Robert’s guidance we have sawn, filed, sanded, scraped, scratched and bent our pieces and some of the group have made really lovely things. As usual […]
