This resin art course is suitable for any experience level or beginner artist and a wonderful relaxing medium. During the session you’ll learn about the safety around using resin, the materials required, and the basic techniques in prepping your homewares, mixing and creating with resin. This course will give you the knowledge to feel confident using resin in your own home. A demonstration will be provided first in creating resin art on a paddle board and 4 plywood coasters from beginning to end. You then get a chance to create your 2 homeware pieces, Paddle board 450mm long and 4 round 100mm Plywood coasters during the session. Up to 4 colours can be chosen for each piece and will be shared among all participants on the day. The resin used during the session is low odour and non-toxic, so you are not required to wear any masks. The resin used is also food safe. NOTE: As this resin takes 24hrs to cure the art will need to be left overnight and collected at another time.
