Beginners Resin Workshop – Jewellery JUNE
The resin jewellery workshop teaches participants how to work with a 2-part quick setting polyurethane resin. The resin is ideal for workshops as it has a setting time of just 20 minutes! We go through the various techniques that can be achieved with this resin, such as mixing colours, swirling, shaping and more. Participants create their own resin bangle and ring to take home with them, choosing their own colours and technique.
This workshop is extremely popular and places are limited to 8 per class, so make sure you get in quick when tickets go on sale!

Glass Etching Workshop JULY
The Glass Etching Workshop is a 1.5 hour class where participants learn how to work with etching cream, a powerful product that etches into any glass surface to produce a frosted effect. First a simple stencil is drawn on the reverse of vinyl paper, and cut by hand using scissors or a craft knife. The stencil is then applied to the glass surface, and glass etching cream applied for a specified period of time. The etching cream is washed away, stencil removed and you are left with a fantastic personalised creation! Alternatively you can try your hand at painting the etching cream freehand on to the glass surface to create a more organic design. Participants will create their own personalised glass etched candle votive or mini mason jar to take home, and Glass Etching Kits will be available for purchase after the workshop.
