What you'll do

Not all resins or boards are created equal, we only use the best of both! Turn your next cheese platter into a masterpiece with your very own resin trimmed serving board.

Rebecca, our chief crafting officer, is one of Sydney's most experienced and reputable resin artists. Rebecca has been working with resin for over three decades, she has sourced the best quality boards, resin and pigments to create serving boards you will be proud to say were "made by me"!

She will guide you through the steps to create your serving board(s), including how to safely work with resin to achieve a quality finish.

Our boards are made from a single piece of kiln-dried camphor laurel timber which are routered and sanded to ensure a quality resin application. Camphor laurel is 100 per cent antibacterial so the best timber to make cutting boards from and makes them the most hygienic and quality cutting boards on the market.

What you will learn:

What resin is and how to safely work with it
How to set up your serving boards
How to properly mix your resin
How to add different pigments, powders, metallics and glitters to colour your resin
The techniques and steps to decorate your boards
How to finish the backs of your boards once dried and cured

It can get a bit messy so don't dress to impress. Your boards will need 24 hours to dry, you will need to collect your pieces from the studio in the following days. Postage can be arranged for an additional charge.

We believe craft is as much about creativity as it is about connection, in our workshops you have the opportunity to meet new friends, share a few stories, laugh with each other and simply enjoy some time out for yourself.

Please note: this class is not recommended for pregnant women or children under the age of 16 years as chemicals are used.

Cancellation Policy: You can reschedule your class with up to 10 days notice, 24 hours notice if you must COVID-isolate (proof maybe requested) We do not refund classes but you are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. We reserve the right to cancel classes if minimum numbers are not met in which case we will offer to reschedule or a full refund.

Myself & friends had the most amazing group class. Rebecca was a wonderful teacher ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ Clear, inspiring & encouraging in her instruction with many individualised moments of assistance for each of us. Truly a brilliant experience with all materials provided & the added hands of Naomi to keep things humming along in an amiable professional way. Highly recommended to anyone looking to get out of their head & into their heart, or simply looking to spend an afternoon joyfully creating!

I absolutely loved this class and am so happy with how my resin boards have turned out. Rebecca was a wonderful teacher, and we were given the opportunity to create whatever we had in mind (in my case “ocean inspired” and a copper dirty pour!) with some guidance.

I already want to come back and do it again!

What an amazing 'Resin Serving board' class was, money well spent. This is a class not to miss. Definitely a nice and relaxing afternoon with lots of fun. Both Rebecca and Naomie were amazing teachers and very helpful in assisting with techniques. There was an array of colors to choose from to complete your piece of art. I am looking forward to completing many more classes down the track.

Leonie Fuller • Dec 2020

Thanks Rebecca and Naomi for a great class today. I would recommend this course to anyone who like to create things. It is a great way of introducing yourself to resin and don't stress if you don't think you are creative, you will find it easy and Rebecca and Naomi are alway there to help. Its great that there is parking and the room is light and fresh although might bet a bit hot in the middle of summer.
I can't wait to do another course. Thanks Leonie

It was lots of fun working with the resin and kind of addictive! Naomi and Rebecca were so lovely and explained/demonstrated it clearly, and was then ready to help whenever needed. There were lots of colours to choose from and it was really cool having two pretty serving boards at the end! Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in trying their hand at resin :)

This is the 2nd resin class I have done with the made by me team. Teacher was great (again), super friendly and was always happy to answer any questions I had as I had gathered a few since my last class!
Venue is brilliant, bright spacey warehouse.
All materials were provided and instructions suit those who have never touched it before to those with a little experience. There was a whole family in our class as a family experience which was nice to see.
I will definitely do more classes with the made by me team as there a few different things id like to try!

Such a great workshop! Not only did we learn a gorgeous craft, but we had a wonderful afternoon. Rebecca was knowledgeable, helpful & fun. I felt like I had known her for years despite just meeting her.
The venue was easy to get to with lots of off street parking.
I am now really keen to put my new skills to the test and make some boards as Christmas presents.
I would recommend this course to anyone who enjoys any kind of craft and who is looking for a fun afternoon.
Thanks Rebecca - can't wait to do another course with you.

Our teacher Beck was super knowledgeable, friendly AND she baked scones! The course was very generous providing 3 chopping boards to resin and the space was light, airy and felt good to be in (plus great parking).

The tips and tricks I picked up were invaluable. Best resin course I've done so far, wholly worth the time and money.

Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge!

The workshop is well thought out, relaxed and lots of fun. Rebecca is fun and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The spread of colours and effects available was fantastic and a really great reason for doing a workshop so you can play with all the options. I've never used resin before and I'm so happy with the result! Everyone in the class ended with fantastic results with Rebecca's guidance. Would happily recommend to anyone wanting to try resin, no matter the level of artistic experience.

Vicki Smith • Feb 2019

Rebecca was a lovely caring person to be around .she made everyone feel very comfortable and confident to use the products and tools provided. The class was a great size and everyone got lots of attention to help give us all the confidence to produce good work.there was no lack of product to use and plenty of beautiful colours and effects eg.sparkel glitter etc . I would have liked a follow up class for the sanding and oiling of work to follow but I understand the drying factor did not allow that .otherwise a great way to explore and share my art experience

Karen Story • Feb 2019

The venue was fresh clean and perfect for the class. Rebecca was a fantastic teacher who gave individual time to all students. The course was informative and well presented and fun. Time was given for Q&A and every question was answered with clear explanation. Would highly recommend this course

FAQ

What kind or brand of the powder paint and resin are used in this class?

Sam

Your teacher

For the serving boards we used Master Cast. The pigments were a variety of pigments but you should be able to find all that you need in the Art Tree Creations website - there are 5 key categories of pigments you can look at - all are Art Tree’s own brand;

- translucent dyes

- metallic powders

- pearlescent powders

- epoxy pigments

- H2O pigments
