About this Event
Using various sizes of both manmade and natural crystals, coloured resin pigments, mica powder, glass gravel and shattered glass with reflective qualities, stunning german glass, metallic foils, and interference powders, you will be designing your magical geode-look-alike-fire opal lantern.
Each person will choose a metal lantern which has four glass doors that will be removed and transformed in to four separate geode pieces of art. There are a variety of lanterns available for you to choose from (white, aluminum, black, beige, red) and are medium sized (11" to 13" high). You can use one colour cohesively for all four panels or go wild and do each piece in a totally different colour pallett. You will have access to other decorative materials such as liquid silver chrome, liquid gold, shattered glass which can be coloured with alcohol inks, glass gravel and silver/gold/rose gold foil, mica powders & epoxy pigments and my new aurora flakes which are SO AMAZING. You will also be given an opportunity to do a practice glass panel before you actually start your lantern panels to try out your colour scheme and technique. We also have drawn templates for those who want a little inspiration in the design of their panels!
These lanterns look amazing when lit from within because you will be able to see through the designs on the glass which give you such a fantastic light show! So, if you wish, there will be battery operated lights for inside the lantern to purchase for a small additional fee.
Although all supplies are included in this class, if you have items you think you may want to incorporate into your design, you are encouraged to bring them along with you (ie: broken jewelry, stones, special memento, etc.)
No previous experience is necessary to participate in this workshop. Minimum age is 18 but if you are younger, pre-approval is possible and you will need to speak directly to the Creative Coach. Class size is limited.
***Please Note: Resin requires time to cure so lanterns can not be taken home with you; they will need to be picked up the next day or when it's convenient.
Dress comfortably in old clothing as we are working with resin; gloves and aprons are provided. The art Studio is in the lower level so one flight of stairs (with a bannister) are involved.
Refreshments such as coffee, tea, pop, water and pre-packaged treats like chocolate bars & chips are offered but if you want to bring your own beverage/snack, please do so.
