Create small items like coasters and candle holders with this amazing, eco-friendly creative material.

What you will learn on this course

On this two-day course, the group will explore working with Jesmonite, a fascinating material used by artists for all manner of creative outcomes.

Eco-friendly and easy to use, this casting resin can be moulded into almost any shape imaginable. We’ll begin by using three different methods for making coasters and candle holders, trying marbled effect, transfer paper and DIY terrazzo chips. Depending on time, you my be able to experiment with other objects.

Perfect for older children who enjoy experimenting with new craft materials. Participants will leave with completed work at the end of the course.
