Artist of the Month

Artist of the Month : Southend Art Club March 2014

There is a bit of excitement here @ Art In Wax as I am the featured artist for March at the Southend Art Club.

Last year I joined the Southend Art Club and was recently asked if I would like to be “Artist of the Month” for March 2014 and I was delighted to accept.

Southend Art Club

The Southend Art Club has a long history in the town and was established in 1929. Then known as the Southend Art Circle it was set up to promote art in the Southend area, a change of name to The Southend Sketch Club came later in 1969 renamed again as it is today Southend Art Club (SAC).

Featured Art In Wax

There are a selection of my encaustic paintings included on the SAC website in the Artist of the Month feature. Including some of my hot wax pictures on gloss card and some of my wax on wood pieces.

Spring Exhibition

March also sees the SAC annual Spring Exhibition at the Cliff Pavilion, I have blogged about it if your would like more information : Southend on Sea Art Exhibition March 2014

Artist of the Month : Popular Crafts Magazine

Meet the artist feature : May 2012 : Hazel Rayfield Encaustic Artist

Popular craft magazine featured me as artist of the month this month, you can read the interview with the editor on the popular craft website.

Popular Craft Magazine

It was great to be asked by editor Katharine Jewitt to be interviewed for the magazine which is now online.

The magazine is a national publication in the UK and has many different crafts and arts featured, including projects, demonstrations and craft news, and is an interesting read and resource for crafting.

Next Month : On the cover!

Next month in the hard copy of the magazine, there will be a feature demonstration of me painting a rose as part of the magazines “Queens Jubliee” issue, a picture of the Rose painting created into a card is featured on the cover of the up and coming edition.

The Jubliee edition will also include a “give away” prize draw of one of my paintings, a vase of pink roses, mounted in a cream mount, so something to watch out for.
