Henna & Jagua Workshop

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

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.

The new Jagua Tattoos went down really well, and henna stood its ground alongside it. I posted more piccies here on The Forum
