Resin Charcuterie Presentation Board Workshop

Resin art is incredibly popular for so many reasons. There are an endless variety of resin pigment pastes for colour choices and more mica powder than you'll ever wish for - so the options are staggering and only limited to your imagination; but don't worry at all about coming up with a concept for your board because we have a ton of inspirational pieces to motivate you and jumpstart the creative process. Your Creative Coach, BerylAnne also provides pictures of resin pours that others have done to give you some insight as to what can be achieved with some direction and knowledge of various techniques. Even those who have said, "I don't have a creative bone in my body" have creatied something they are incredibly proud of having done!

During this workshop we learn how to create a one-of-a-kind presentation board using FDA food safe resin and if you want to add a variety of amazing embellishments that are on hand in the Studio, you have that option as well. Others have adorned their boards with things like mirrored reflective glass, glass gems, metallic foils, german glass,sand, rocks or even pieces of jewelry to take your creation to the next level. If you have a special family heirloom or memento that means a lot to you that you think would be a beautiful addition to your board, please bring it along with you and we can explore that idea together.

No other workshop gives you a such a variety of colours, resin & tools at your disposal and the ability to do a practice piece before you start your finished board. The reason we do this is for you to use the colours that you chose and to "practice" the techniques you will be taught by the Coach before you do them on your presentation/charcuterie board so you get a really good vision of what your board will end up looking like. This has been one of the things that sets my resin workshops apart - "play" through "practice" is such an important aspect to feeling comfortable with resin and the techniques that will be demonstrated.

Your Creative Coach will go over the basics of resin (safety, where to buy, what's available); board prep, will then demonstrate the most popular techniques to achieve cells & lacing, swiping, using a heat gun & torch, mixing colours with pastes/mica powders and lastly how to further adorn your boards if that's what you decide you want to do.

Each person is allowed to choose from a variety of different boards on hand which you do your resin pour on. Most of the boards are unique and different so that not everyone will have a board that's the same as everyone else!

No previous experience with resin is necessary but you must be 18+ to participate or 16+ accompanied by an adult. Class number is limited and this is a popular workshop so sign up quickly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Resin takes a minimum of 12 hours to cure so you will not be permitted to take your board home with you but can make arrangements to pick it up the next day or at a time that is convenient.

Dress in old clothing as resin is unforgiving and impossible to remove from clothes; aprons and gloves are provided. The Studio is in the lower level so being able to go up and down one flight stairs independently is necessary. Refreshments such as coffee, tea, pop, water and pre-packaged snacks are provided you can bring something of your own choice as well.

Registration: Preferred method is by etransfer directly to [email protected] or by using our ticketing agent, Eventbrite.
