About this Event
This workshop was offered last year for the first time and was really popular and I'm so excited to be able to offer it again in the Studio.
Each participant will be given a baltic birch 26" long mermaid substrate on which to do your beautiful beach/ocean resin art; this blank wood is your ocean and beach waiting to happen! You will have access to all kinds of resin pigments in teals, aquamarines, ocean blue, translucent green, and sparkling diamond dust for in the water, shells, sealife, real sand, miniature charms (turtles, crabs, seahorses, lighthouses, pebbles, turtles, fish, mermaid tails, fish, dolphins, starfish) - WOW!
Your Creative Coach will first demonstrate how to mix your resin with coloured pigments and mica powders to give you mesmerizing ocean colours followed by a thorough demonstration on how to create the frothy cells and lacing to mimick the waves lap on the shoreline. Every participant will then get to practice that technique on a panel provided (that you can keep and use as a wall hanging). The idea of "Practice through Play" is always emphasized in my resin workshops as it not only gives you an opportunity to experiment with your colours, techniques, etc., while having creative fun; it also provides you with a comfort level BEFORE doing your final mermaid piece! Learn by doing is important which is why this class is 4 hours in length.
We will briefly cover the tools for this resin technique: Heat gun with air, torch & swiping applicators. Also, the ratios for mixing pigment into resin as well as which resins are good for which types of applications.
* **Important: Resin projects require a minimum of 12 hours to cure so you will not be able to take your projects home with you directly after the class. Arrangements can be made to pickup at a later date. Although no previous resin experience is necessary for this workshop, there is an age restriction of 16+ accompanied by an adult. Please note that the Studio is in the lower level and you will be required to be able to walk independently up and down one flight of stairs that has a sturdy banister.
There are refreshments such as pop, water, coffee & tea and prepackaged treats such as chips and chocolate bars but feel free to bring your own snacks and beverages if you want.
Workshops book up very quickly and preferred registration is by etransfer to [email protected] or by using this Eventbrite
