About this Event
GET READY FOR SUMMER FUN WITH THIS AMAZING OCEAN/BEACH RESIN CLASS.
S uch a FUN and exciting resin project this one is! The baltic birch large paddle blank is a fair size (9.25"x36").
This amazing decorative blank is your ocean waiting to happen. Use resin pigment in teals, aquamarines, ocean blue, translucent green, sparkling diamond dust in the water, wow!!!
Y our Creative Coach will first demonstrate how to mix your clean resin with pigments and mica powders to give you the ocean colours you decide you want on your paddle. A thorough demonstration on how to create the frothy cells and lacing as the waves lap on the shoreline and then you get to practice that technique on an 8x10 fibreboard (that you can keep and use as a wall hanging). The idea of "Practice through Play" is always emphasized in my resin workshops as it not only gives you an opportunity to experiment while having creative fun, it provides participants with a comfort level BEFORE doing your original piece! Learn by doing is important and added in to the length of this workshop.
W e will briefly cover the tools for this resin technique: Heat gun with air, torch & swiping applicators. Also, the ratios for mixing pigment into resin as well as which resins are good for which types of applications.
T here will be real sand, tiny seashells, rope for the handle and some small embellishments for added decor appeal (anchors, seahorses, lighthouses, pebbles, turtles, fish, etc.)
This will be fast-paced as there is a lot to do in a short time but c ome with a desire to have a fun and creative time. Hey, even make this amazing decor item as a gift for someone who has a cabin, ocean themed room or vacation home!
