Did you miss the last resin workshop? Have you been wanting to play with resin but have no idea where to start? Join us for this 2-hour class and get the rundown on some of the basics.

We will provide the materials needed to make two coasters from molds. We encourage you to bring some of your own elements to incorporate into your pieces (smaller, flattened objects work best!)
