Check your control freak at the door and surrender yourself to the free form medium of epoxy resin. In this workshop, we’ll teach you all the tips and techniques you need to work with the amazing fluid medium that is epoxy resin so that you can create your own one of a kind resin art. Whether you like your resin art abstract or if you prefer to create a more literal ocean or beach inspired piece, this class is for you.
What you will learn:
What resin is and how to safely work with it, - What surfaces are suitable for resin application, - How to properly mix your resin, - How to add different pigments to colour your resin and
The techniques used to create cells and lacing effects that replicate the whitewash of the ocean lapping on a beach.
We will have some shells and small rocks on hand to add to your artwork, we will show you how to properly apply these - feel free to bring along any you may have at home and want to incorporate into your artwork.
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 the following day. 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: There are no refunds for classes but you are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day.

No previous experience or skills required. All that you need is an open mind and a sense of adventure. This class is not recommended for pregnant women or children under the age of 16 years as chemicals are used.
 
What you'll get
Each participant will receive a 50cm art-board, resin, access to a large selection of pigment and powders to create your artwork.
 
What to bring
Please feel free to bring along your own shells or beach inspired decorations to add to your artwork, otherwise everything you need will be provided including an apron to wear during the workshop - it can get a bit messy so don't dress to impress, if you get resin on your clothes or shoes it won't wash off.
 
The safety and wellbeing of our participants is our highest priority and we will do everything we can to ensure their safety during our workshops.
In light of the current COVID situation in NSW we have updated our COVID safe plan and have decided that for the time being we will only be admitting people to workshops who can demonstrate that they have been double vaccinated or have a legitimate medical exemption. We are also asking all participants to wear face masks that cover your nose & mouth inside the studio, we have disposable P2 masks on hand for all resin workshops that you are welcome to use but we will need you to wear your own mask when you enter the studio.
Workshops are kept to small groups with no person to person contact required. We will be taking extra precautions to ensure all work surfaces, equipment and supplies are cleaned and disinfected before and after every workshop and that sharing of equipment is avoided much as possible.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns in this regard.

I could not be happier with my teacher RebeccaShe was a dream to learn from and was happy to answer any questions. The studio was really nice and she had lots of colours to pick from. I believe the class was value for money as long as you go home and practice what you learnt. I painted a deep water ocean artwork and added my own colour ideas thanks to Rebecca's suggestionsI would do this class again

Found that the class was very informative and gave me the chance to use and learn resin for the first time. Learning under the guidance of an experienced teacher which helps guide you at the beginning as you just don’t know where to start. Looking forward now on starting my new resin art journey. Thankyou.

My daughter and I had such a fun time at our resin painting class with Rebecca today.
Rebecca explained and demonstrated what to do so well. She made it fun and was very encouraging as we were doing our ‘masterpieces’. She is just lovely!
All the other ladies there were so friendly and we just had an all round great experience.
Everything was provided, even chocolates!
Naomi who was giving Rebecca help was so lovely as well.
We would certainly recommend Rebecca as a teacher and the class if you want to have fun and create.

This is a fantastic class for all levels. As an absolute beginner to resin, I found Rebecca excellent in going through the different resins, pigments and demonstrating how to mix the resin and application of it on the board including how to create a lace effect. Wow!
We all had plenty of time to create our own masterpiece and I absolutely love mine!
I found the workshop priced right for what was included.
Definitely recommend this Workshop and am looking forward to doing more.

Rebecca was an amazing teacher. She was very helpful and really embraced everyone’s creativity. The location was lovely, as were all the product options. Was a little nervous about the cost of the course but it was definitely worth it in the end. Would recommend for sure! And will look into doing more classes, especially with Rebecca.

This was an amazing class! I highly recommend Rebecca! She was very knowledgeable and organized. The studio was flooded with natural light and very spacious. She explained the process and the product thoroughly and demonstrated before assisting everyone individually, drawing on their creativity in search for their colour and design before they commenced. Every piece created today was a master piece - I was thrilled. Rebecca guided and assisted individually and collectively throughout the session and very generous with materials. She went out of her way to provide the colours I was looking for before the class - thank you so much Rebecca. Well worth the money! I learned how to create with resin and pigment and how to blend and apply. I loved it and am happy to be gifting this piece. I'll be vising again. Cheers Silvana
Great afternoon! Everyone really got into it and there was plenty of assistance if you wanted it but at the same time we were left to potter and be creative. Would love to do more! Bec was fabulous.
I guess the only thing I would like is a list of materials and where we can buy them.

There is usually plenty of parking on site at Precinct 75 - there really isn't anyone else around on a Sunday so you can usually get a spot right in front of the studio - if not there is a car park on site.
