Creating with resin is amazing and the possibilities are endless - really!
Each participant is given a baltic birch blank bear shape substratewith a silhouette of mountains and trees cutout of its center OR a solid piece bear shape the same size without the center silhouette cutout . He is 24" long x 15" high.
There are endless ideas for the outcome of your bear 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. We will be using pebbles, rocks, moss, bark and recreating a babbling brook, mountain stream on the lower half of your bear. In order to achieve the desired results, there is a process to follow which is why this is considered an intermediate level resin workshop.
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 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, 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. You will be allowed to practice your techniques beforehand and with the colours you decide to use on the bear 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.
This is a teaching workshop and considered intermediate level where previous experience using resin is required. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to attend unless preapproved by the workshop coordinator (please contact BerylAnne 403.483.7270). Dress in old clothing because resin is impossible to remove once on your clothes (aprons and gloves are provided).
Refreshments such as pop, water, coffee & tea and prepackaged treats like chocolate bars & chips are included but feel free to bring your snack/beverage if you want.
Lower level studio location so one flight of stairs (with bannister) are involved.
All supplies are included in the cost of the workshop.
