Join me for a fun, creative, and experimental workshop in the gorgeous loft at Nook, Marlow, where you will learn how to craft your own bespoke Jesmonite coasters. This is a fantastic activity for anyone looking to try a modern and popular craft.
Jesmonite is a versatile, non-toxic material that sets into a beautiful stone-like finish. In this hands-on workshop, I will guide you through the entire process, from start to finish.
You will learn how to:
– Mix and pigment Jesmonite AC100 to create your own unique colour palette.
– Choose from a selection of coaster moulds to shape your designs.
– Experiment with exciting decorative techniques, including marbling, splatter, and terrazzo effects.
– Apply the finishing touches and seal your pieces so they’re ready to use.
Because Jesmonite sets so quickly, you’ll get to experience the complete creative journey, from the initial design to a finished product, all within a two-hour session. You could make a matching set or experiment with a couple of different styles – the choice is yours!
This is a wonderfully satisfying workshop, and you’ll leave with a set of unique, handmade coasters to proudly display in your home or give as a thoughtful gift.
Please note, this workshop is suitable for anyone aged 12 and over, but those aged 12-17 must be accompanied by an adult.
The pigments will stain if split so please wear old clothes or an apron to be on the safe side!
