Aileen.Marron

My first combined 1 day intensive workshop! As I usually teach henna & jagua as two separate days, I was a little worried about doing a one day workshop for both… But it worked out fine, both my candidates (Cat & Liesl) were on the same learning curve and it was a very smooth run. We were all very tired by the end of the day, but the excitement fator really helped us pull through! As soon as I get some photos together I’ll post them here.

We took the scenic route to Sheffield over the snake pass, and after circling the Ponds Forge Intl. Sports Centre a few times we finally made it into the foyer at exactly 10.30. There was an amazing atmosphere with over 60 teams competing, there was drumming and singing from the South Africans, there were the Columbians with their pan pipes, and the GB team with their Jagua Artists… It was like a fezzie in a sports centre LOL!
