Working with resin is amazing and the possibilities are endless - really!
Each participant is given a baltic birch blank bear or wolf shape with a silhouette of mountains and trees cutout of its center. The bear is 24" long x 15" high; the wolf is 20" long x 21" high
There are endless ideas for the outcome of your selected project as each one of you will have a different colour scheme or idea in mind that you want to create. No two will EVER be the same.
Three basic techniques for resin manipulation will be demonstrated by your Creative Coach and you will be given ample time and product to practice these prior to doing your final pour on your bear/wolf so that alleviates the pressure of not being sure how things will go. This way you can test your colour combination choices as well as have the opportunity to see how resin flows and blends etc. Your Creative Coach BerylAnne will provide you with demonstrations and direction on how to prep, mix resin (huge variety of various colour pastes, alcohol ink, mica powders, etc. will be available for you to choose from); move resin and how to control it to give you a desired result. There will be heat guns and also fire torches provided for you to use during the workshop. Create cells, lacing and stunning colour variations with all the variety of supplies on hand to add to your project such as bark, moss, german glass, reflective glass, pebbles, etc. You will practice on a piece of MDF board beforehand and then when you feel comfortable, you will proceed to resin your piece. Guidance will be provided every step of the way with handouts and suggestions from the Coach.
*PLEASE NOTE: Resin requires a minimum of 12 hours to cure so you won't be able to take your project home with you the same day.
