Jesmonite Pumpkin Workshop
Advance Price: £36
In this 2.5 hour workshop you will be guided through the process of making a stunning Jesmonite Pumpkin using Terrazzo, Marbling, Block Colour & Drip techniques. We will be practicing on smaller moulds before the Pumpkin, so you can get a good understanding of how the material works, what colours work well together and what your product will look like.
All materials for each process are provided, so you don’t have to bring anything other than yourself and an apron/large shirt if you want to keep your clothes clean. Jesmonite washes out in the washing machine, however Jesmonite Pigment can stain, so beware. It will be a messy process & if you have plans after the workshop you may want to cover your outfit.
Best of all, because Jesmonite is quick to set, you will be able to take your creations home with you at the end of the workshop!
Jesmonite kits will be available to purchase at the workshops for any attendees who may want to continue their experimentation or give the kit as a gift to someone!
WHAT IS JESMONITE?
Jesmonite is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, water-based resin used to create many kinds of decorative homeware, art, furniture & more! It comes as a two part separated mix of powder & liquid which at 1-2.5 ratio is mixed together to form a milky mixture. Naturally Jesmonite has an off white colour to it, so coloured pigments are used to give tone & hue to the mixture which is then poured into silicone moulds, where it cures & becomes a beautifully, unique item!
This workshop is led by experienced tutor Gaby from ‘Objectify’.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided during the break.
