CLASS DESCRIPTION

Join Nadine in 4-hour workshop designed to help you create the most unique resin jewellery possible. In this day and age it can be hard to stand from the pack, especially in mediums such as resin. In this workshop you will gain the skills that will set you free from ever having to buy another generic mould off the shelf.

Using pre-existing prototypes you will learn how to make one part silicone moulds for bangles and rings.  Nadine will also demonstrate how to mould other jewellery such as pendants and beads.

In this class you will make two silicon moulds that you can take home and cast with your unique resin designs. You will also learn how to cast resin into a pre-existing mould and will cast into your new mould after it cures.

You will take home the skills needed to continue making your very own creations that you can truly call your own.
