About this Event
Working with resin is amazing and the possibilities are endless - really!
Each participant is given a solid baltic birch substrate to create your stunning abstract geode using your colour choices complete with glass, crystals & pre-made geode cluster embellishments. There is a huge selection of glass colours, glitters, metallic foils, reflective glass, gorgeous german glass add ons as well as gold, rose gold, luxury silver or pewter metallics for that WOW factor. Each 17"x14"substrate has a hole cut out of the centre of the board and you can decide which way you want it to be disaplayed.
This will be a FAST-PACED workshop and although you will be given ample time in which to complete your final piece, you will need to hustle to fit in all the amazing ideas and techniques during this 4 hour workshop - it goes by SO quickly! That's why we play/practice for an hour as part of the workshop so that you can test out your colours and newly-acquired resin skills prior to doing your final geode. This alleviates the pressure of not being sure how things will go or if you like the colours chosen and this is what sets my studio apart from any other. Practice through Play!
Your Creative Coach BerylAnne will provide a demonstration and give you direction on how to prep, mix resin (pigment pastes & mica powders); move resin and how to control it to give you a desired result. We will be using the side-by-side technique of laying down the resin in order to maintain the individual colour lines of each segment of our geode. You will be taught the basics of resin but there are so many ways to create different looks with this amazing medium, only a few will be offered in this specific class.
Resin requires a minimum of 12 hours to cure so you won't be able to take your project home with you the same day.
This is a teaching workshop where previous experience is not required but helpful. Age 14+ accompanied by an adult. Dress accordingly as resin is impossible to remove once on your clothes (aprons and gloves are provided).
Refreshments such as pop, water, coffee & tea and a little snack are included but feel free to bring your own if you want. Lower level studio location so you will need to be able to walk up and down stairs to access the studio. All supplies are included in the cost of the workshop but if you have any items (rocks, gems, jewelry, shiny objects) that you may want to include as part of your design, please bring them along.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to purchase your registration here through EB, please contact BerylAnne, [email protected] directly. There are cancellations and spots become available that aren't indicated there.
