Craft your own Christmas Decorations using Jesmonite - an eco-friendly, water-based alternative to resin



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 12 guests       £35

In this 2.5 hour workshop I’ll introduce you to Jesmonite AC100 and it’s various uses, and show you how to use it to create your own Christmas decorations to take home and hang on your Christmas tree! For this workshop I will be teaching you the technique of marbling to produce a set of decorations with beautiful, marble-like patterns.
During this workshop I will show you:
How to mix and pigment Jesmonite AC100 with your own choice of colours
How to pour and cast Jesmonite AC100 using silicone moulds
How to make a set of 4x Christmas decorations using a marbling technique
How to safely demould your creations
Tips for how to finish your pieces to give a more professional look
How to seal your pieces to protect them against general wear and tear
This workshop is aimed at beginners so no previous experience working with Jesmonite is necessary. You will start with a smaller mould to make a practice piece before moving on to your finished piece.
All materials and equipment needed for the activity is provided.
Jesmonite needs to be sealed to protect from wear and tear so each attendee is provided with a kit at the end of the workshop containing acrylic sealer and a cloth to take home and apply to their pieces following the workshop. You will also be provided with decorative string to tie to your decorations ready to hang on your Christmas tree!

Hi! I'm David and I'm the maker behind Art for Foodies - a fun-filled, food-focussed studio in Glasgow’s East End, producing affordable, handmade artworks and gifts for fellow food lovers and cooking enthusiasts.
Throughout my creative career I have dabbled in many different disciplines including mould-making, casting, painting, print-making, ceramics and woodwork which is reflected in the diverse range of artworks and products I make.
Think ceramic pasta fridge magnets made with clay the same way edible pasta is made with dough, or a series of prints produced from original oil paintings of farm-grown fruits and vegetables, or hand crafted drinks coasters and cabinet knobs for your kitchen.
On the side I run a casting and mould-making service (called Mould-Fashioned) to support other people's projects.
I have a massive passion for helping others and sharing my skills so I've decided to begin running a selection of fun and therapeutic workshops reflecting my scatter gun approach to making by covering multiple creative disciplines.
Let me introduce you to jesmonite casting with with plans to add workshops in ceramic pasta making, coaster casting, mould-making and lots more to come!
