Make a spectacular resin painting inspired by a colourful geode that you can proudly hang in your home. This popular resin art technique is so much fun to create. In the Resin Geode class you'll recreate the look of an agate slice using glitters for sparkle, crystals and crushed glass for texture and most importantly, add colour with resin.

What you'll make:

What instruction you'll receive:
You'll learn how to create the geode structure, including how to choose colours that work together and how to apply the resin to the canvas. You'll be using a slow curing epoxy, giving you time to manipulate the resin to create the geode effect. Classes are restricted in size and are structured so you receive individual instruction.
What to bring/wear:
Old clothes including a long sleeved shirt. All other protective equipment and class materials are provided.
