The Christmas Workshop - Table & Tree Decorations w/ Objectify

Important Venue Notice - The workshop space is above Get Lathered in Ponte near the Castle. It is only accessible via stairs, we apologise for any inconvienience caused. If you would like some assistance entering the workshop space, we are happy to help!

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING?

In this 2-hour workshop you will be taught step by step, with demos showing how to create individual Jesmonite Christmas home decorations: a medium pot for a pillar candle or Christmas plant, and a few Christmas tree decorations. Your pot could form part of your Christmas dinner table setting – and they also look great on the mantlepiece!

You can literally use any colour combinations, and go glitzy with gold or silver foil, understated with gold or silver pigment powder and terrazzo chips, or muted with your favourite Christmas colours – it’s up to you!

First, you will practice techniques on two small Christmas tree decorations, then you’ll move onto the small plant pot, using marbling, block colour and terrazzo effects with glittery pigment or foil too!

The pot measures 8cm high x 8cm diameter.

Accompanied children welcome.

All materials for each process are provided so you don't have to bring anything other than yourself & potentially an apron/large shirt if you want to keep your clothes clean - Jesmonite washes out in the washing machine but it can be a messy process and if you have plans after the workshop you may want to avoid the temporary marks! Best of all, because Jesmonite is quick to set, you will be able to take your creations home with you at the end of the workshop!

WHAT IS JESMONITE?

Jesmonite is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, water-based resin used to create many kinds of decorative homeware, art, furniture & more! It comes as a two-part separated mix of powder & liquid which at 1-2.5 ratio is mixed together to form a milky mixture. Naturally Jesmonite has an off-white colour to it, so coloured pigments are used to give tone & hue to the mixture which is then poured into silicone moulds, where it cures & becomes a beautifully, unique item!

Note: I’m a small business owner whose income depends entirely on workshops and markets. My events are small-scale and my costs and time invested remain the same whether the workshop is full or not. I always advertise my events with plenty of time to promote and sell tickets – and tickets tend to sell in the first week of publication.

I want try to strike a balance between being fair to participants, and not selling myself short or ending up making a financial loss. That’s why I don’t refund tickets within 14 days of an event, as it’s very unlikely I will be able to resell the ticket at short notice. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting small businesses.
