Weekend Fun: Casting with Eco Resin: Making a candle vessel Sat -Sun 3-6pm

Plaster casting is a messy, fun workshop. In this 2-session class, we will be creating a totally custom vessel and candle from scratch!
About this Event

Grab your favourite people and join me for this fabulous, fun weekend, where we'll cast a multi-use vessel and turn it into a candle.

You'll have the choice of several molds to cast from, and each person will be given all the supplies they need, from casting mix, water, dyes and paint, to make a totally one-of-a-kind piece of decor.

We'll spend 3 hours together on Saturday, casting our vessels, letting them dry and harden, and then painting our creations. Sat is a messy day, so keep that in mind. We do have aprons available here at the studio.

On Sunday, our less messy day, we will spend another 2-3 hours finishing up our painting, sealing our vessels, and, for those who want to make their own candles, we can pour in some beeswax or pour your own tealights if you don't want to pour wax directly into your vessel. We will have options!

The beeswax for these candles comes from a farm, not 10 minutes from Studio on the Farm. Now that's local! It smells amazing, with a gentle, delightful toasted honey scent.

These handmade vessels are. multi-purpose. Use them for tea lights, holding jewelry, pencils or art supplies, burning incense, your rock collection... You name it! I don't recommend eating out of them or using them for food, even though the eco resin is non-toxic. (and a sustainable blend of natural resin and gypsum - aka plaster)

Studio on the Farm is a welcoming space to get creative! Located on a small farm in Roslin, Ontario and owned by local artist Jenny Pries. Make yourself at home! Hot and cold drinks are provided. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! Thank you for supporting local arts events!

Special safety note: With any flame, please use caution and common sense. Burn your candles on a flat, heat-safe surface, and never burn longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Do not leave candles unattended, and keep them away from pets and children. When in doubt, blow it out! Safety first!
