About:
In this workshop we will be working with Jesmonite AC100 to create your own one of a kind Trinket Dish and Ring Holder set. 
 
Jesmonite is a water-based eco-resin most widely used in interior applications such as candle holders and homeware decor. The environmentally friendly compound has became very popular in recent years thanks to how safe it is to use. It is light weight, fire resistant and contains no harmful chemicals.
 
We will start the workshop with a brief introduction to colour theory, where you will use jesmonite pigment to create your desired colours.
 
You will then be taught how to correctly weigh and mix the compound before learning 2 different jesmonite techniques; marbling and terrazo. You will practice both techniques on 2 small items of your choice before choosing your favoured technique to create your final trinket dish and ring holder set. This can either be a square trinket dish or an oval dish.
 
Once you have made your final trinket dish set you will learn how to sand and seal your products. This is an important step as not only will it protect your creations, it also really makes the pigment colours pop. You will also be able to take your creations home with you at the end of the workshop!
 
All materials in this workshop are provided (including refreshments!) so you just need to bring yourself.
