In this creative resin casting workshop, you'll learn how to make your own pair of professional-looking Jesmonite coasters. Throughout the two-hour session, you'll develop casting and pigmentation techniques while creating unique decorative pieces for your home.
This hands-on activity welcomes participants of all skill levels, requiring no previous casting experience. The process of working with Jesmonite AC100 – a water-based eco-resin containing no harmful chemicals – is accessible and rewarding for everyone.
During the workshop, the first hour focuses on learning how to pigment Jesmonite with your own mix of colours, exploring marbling and free-pouring techniques to create distinctive patterns and effects. In the second hour, you'll cast your coasters by pouring your coloured material into silicone moulds. The versatility of Jesmonite allows for endless creative possibilities in colour combinations and designs.
By the end of this engaging workshop, you'll have created your own pair of unique coasters – perfect as decorative items for your home or as thoughtful handmade gifts. The final finishing touches, including sanding and sealing, will be completed by the instructor in their studio, with your finished coasters posted to you within three working days.
