What this course is all about:

This is a 4.5 hour course and it covers all aspects of how to work with both UV resin and 2 part epoxy resin including:

 

• safety and preparation tips;
• an explanation of the different types of resins;
• pouring, layering, embedding and coating, using a variety of ephemera, found objects and other interesting elements;
• a range of colouring techniques; and
• basic jewellery making techniques.

 

What you'll make:

In the workshop you will be working with two different types of resin. You will create many pieces some of which will be finished in class, whilst others will need to cure for 24 hours before they can be finished. These can be collected the day after the workshop or posted to you if you prefer. You will use plastic and silicone moulds as well as jewellery bezels and other objects to contain the resin. All the pieces you create in the workshop are yours to keep. If you select Option 2 (please see below) you will also take home the class kit, and comprehensive class notes which will be an invaluable tool to refresh your memory about the finer points covered in the workshop. You'll have sufficient resin left to create many more pieces at home.

 

What instruction you'll receive:

Classes are restricted in size so you receive individual instruction and you will leave the workshop confident that you can continue casting at home.

 

What to bring:

A long sleeved shirt. Everything else is provided.

 

Additional Information:

Pieces poured with slow curing resin will take 24 hours to cure and will need to be collected after the workshop. If this is not convenient, arrangements can be made to post them to you.
