Wednesday Night Workshop - Resin Pendants

While the nights are long, we invite you to brighten up your Wednesday evening with resin pendant-making workshop.

This month we embrace sparkles, colour and brightness as we create small resin casts that can be turned into pendants for a necklace, a key chain or bag tag. Express your creativity and make use of dried flowers, glitter, gold leaf and a range of other materials that can be embedded into resin. Under the guidance of teaching artist Yaz Gaté, participants will learn the process of curing resin, gaining new skills that can be applied to jewellery making at home.

There will be a range of molds and templates for you to create something truly unique and special to you. Enjoy this hands on making workshop in the company of other art and craft lovers, and get to know like minded people.
