You will have the chance to get creative with these techniques and various colours.  At the end of the class, you will have made a pretty set of homewares and as jesmonite is quick to set you can take it straight home with you. £40 per person.  All materials for each process are provided so just turn up and enjoy. No experience needed. You may wish to bring an apron if you want to keep your clothes clean, as it can sometimes be a messy process. Classes are limited to 6 people to allow support to be given where needed. Suitable for age 12+ under 16 to be accompanied by an adult. Your tutor is Wendy of PQ Soy Wax Candles.  Wendy started to experiment with Jesmonite in 2023 and loves the fast-setting process and different techniques you can use.  Wendy says, “you just never know what the finished effect is going to be until you decant your product, each piece is truly unique!” Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult (over 18).  Enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits during your class.  Please advise of allergen requirements at least 48 hours prior to the workshop.
