Banbury Fair's Seminars:
Heidi England - August 17, 18 & 19

"You have to see this bench in person to believe what a fabulous piece Heidi has created for us this year!! Last year when Heidi was here, the group took a field trip to Ten Chimneys in Genesee Depot, WI , the home of the famous actor and actress, Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne. What a fabulous day we had, leaving inspired to return home and paint every square inch of our own homes. Alfred had a Swedish heritage and artists were hired to paint the entire estate in the style of Swedish Court life. Even the white baby grand piano was painted !! " While walking the grounds we came around a corner and found a small white bench sitting up against a wall. Heidi and I both stopped in our tracks and gasped !! "That's it - our piece for next year!!" (see the picture below). Small White Bench We took pictures and some measurements and turned them over to our wonderful wood man, "Boo" Einoris. After some collaboration the design for the bench was agreed upon. It was sent off to Heidi and just look what she did. She has covered every square inch of this beautiful piece with a delightful design reminiscent of a Swedish - Peter Hunt style. Leave it to Heidi !!!! What a happy piece !! She will be joining us again on August 17, 18, & 19 and I hope that you will too. Don't wait too long, Because of the size of this piece, space will be limited. The class fee is $350 and the bench is $225. A deposit is required to save your space and order a bench for you. Come in the shop and see it in person.
