Decorate with Resin: Introduction Workshop

What you'll learn

Be introduced to working with Resin with our new Decorate with Resin Workshop, part of our arts short course program in Sydney!

This new short Resin workshop is ideal for anyone curious about the medium resin and would like to learn more about it.

Our new Decorate with Resin: Introduction Workshop offers you the opportunity to work with resin while you learn how to add your personal touch to a small object.

Our professional tutor will guide you step by step on how to work with the slow-setting resin as well as provides you with background information on the medium and the correct safety procedures that are required when working with resin.

This workshop is packed with a variety of projects to choose from (subject to availability) such as:

kitchen canister
wooden salad servers
coasters
soap dispenser

And by the end of this fun workshop, you will not only have made a beautiful item decorated with resin by you but also have a great understanding of working with resin and its many great possibilities.

Please note that your resin decoration piece needs to cure for 48 hours. Please collect your piece two days after your workshop when it is safe to transport. Once collected, you will be able to polish off the rough edges at home with the guidance of our tutor’s instruction video which will be sent to you after the completion of your course.
