Casting - Jesmonite, Concrete & Pewter - Beginner - 1 Day - 2 People

Description

Casting is such an exciting process. Explore all 3 materials or focus on one or two, you choose. Jesmonite is an eco, resin style product that allows you to produce opaque, stone like designs that can be de-moulded in 15-30 minutes. Because it is such an immediate process you can explore lots of different moulds and techniques during the workshop. Jesmonite is very versatile allowing you to use a variety of colours, styles and finishes. Concrete casting is such a fun technique allowing you to work in an affordable material to cast anything from jewellery to plant pots. The excitement doesn't end there, after leaving your concrete to go off over a couple of days you can de-mould your casting to reveal your fab design, definitely worth the wait! Don't forget you'll need to take your designs home so make sure you have space in your vehicle! (If you come by public transport its probably best to work small!) Casting Pewter involves making and using moulds, melting and pouring the pewter, finishing and polishing your design and turning it into jewellery or small treasures.. With expert tuition this workshop is suitable for anyone. You will leave with at wide variety of pieces with different techniques, finishes and styles. Once you've had the whole day to explore this accessible process you are just a couple of bits of kit away from setting up at home. I always take individual bookings for my workshops so that I can tailor the workshop to the group’s interests and needs. This workshop is for 2 people. Please see the One to One listing for a 1 person booking. Further discounts may be available for larger groups (please message me with your specific needs and I will create a bespoke listing for you). All courses, workshops and kits come with free support afterwards. Email me or arrange a video call. I love to see what my students and fellow crafters are up to and really enjoy answering questions or helping if I can. So any booking isn’t just for the day it’s the start of a crafting friendship! I do my very best to keep all my listings up to date with availability.

Where it all began … I first learnt to crochet as a child and spent hours and hours making, sewing, knitting and learning every new technique possible in art, craft and design. After a degree in Graphics and with 16 years experience teaching Textiles, Graphics, Art & Design and Design & Technology I strongly believe in developing my own practice to be the best tutor I can be. I am continually inspired by my students of all ages so it's definitely a 2 way street!
