Children love it and the beauty is everybody can create with it. Obviously supervision is important for young and old.

Not really. If you’ve ever done the ironing it's very similar!

I paint onto art card and MDF, depending on the size of the painting.

ART card. It is a coated card, therefore the wax moves around it easier and does not sink into it.

I really like the medium because it's like nothing else. It takes you to places that you have never been before.

The ideas shop in Wilstone, or as someone once said “Planet Madley”, which is a very nice place!
