Turn on your resin charm by learning how easy casting can be! In this class you will learn how to make your own molds, use commercial molds, and cast resin. We'll also discuss how to use found objects and your own sculptured pieces to create unique molds, experiment with dyes and inclusions, and finally - how to finish your pieces.
The students will leave with many resin pieces to use in their own art, as well as the skills to cast their own resin pieces from commercial or silicone molds.
