Description
You don't have to be an artist to create an incredible piece of high-gloss resin art for your wall, or as a gift. You will be guided through the process in this fun, easy-going, hands-on workshop. All materials will be provided, along with a myriad of pigment colours and effects to create a unique and bespoke piece of art.
But be warned, resin painting can be extremely addictive!

Testimonials
I attended the resin course on Saturday (8th August) and really enjoyed it. I learned a lot and was very pleased with my completed artwork. I have come away with enough knowledge to be able to create my own resin art at home. Thanks to Andrea for teaching us and to you both for arranging it. Thanks Dipika
