Welcome to the world of possibilities with UV resin and jewelry. The combination is endless and I have to warn you, totally ADDICTING!
Ultraviolet resin cures in minutes so your creations don't have to sit overnight or for endless hours to be ready. UV resin therefore is perfect for making small items like jewelry, key chains, small bookmarks, etc.
This is a great introductory class because you don’t need experience in using resin nor do you have to wait endless hours for it to cure....you just put your item under the UV lamp and it’s ready in minutes. This workshop offers a wonderful variety of items for you to choose from and will not be a class where everyone has to complete the same pieces. Each person’s taste and style is unique and as such, I have structured this class to meet your needs as an individual and as someone who may want to create pieces that are special to you or someone else that you may be making a gift for (ie: memorial ashes). Everyone is given 10 “points” for this class and you get to choose what pieces you want to create (each piece is assigned a point value). Once you are registered, you will be sent samples of what’s available with their point value so have a look ahead of time and hopefully narrow down your choices. You are also given a few free pieces to practice on before you begin your selected choices and there are tons of items in the studio that you can use to decorate and create your treasures! If you have any special mementos or items that you think you may want to incorporate into part of your design/jewelry, I encourage you to bring them along and we can explore that option together. *inventory varies from class to class so some items may not be available or there may be new items which are not on the sample sheets
There are a mesmerizing supply of decorative elements to use in your creations such as pressed flowers, glitter, mica powders, diamond dust, german glass, ocean/sea embellishments, reflective glass, rhinestones, embeds and MORE! This class will lean toward using PRESSED FLOWERS and other ORGANIC materials such as wood bezels, walnut shells, all kinds of woodsy critter embeds, as well as natural stones/agates/turquoise, etc. which can be made in to pendants!
You will be learning which colorants are best for UV resin and how to achieve depth in your pieces by designing in multiple layers. We will be using a variety of open and closed bezels and also have access to additives like opal powders & colour shift mica and foils to enhance your jewelry designs.
The hardest part will be to narrow down what you want to do during our 4 hours together!
If you have any mini treasures that you want to incorporate into your jewelry, please bring everything with you because it's absolutely amazing to create something personal and your Creative Coach, BerylAnne will be thrilled to assist you (ie: pieces of jewerly, little bits of lace or fabric, lock of hair, tiny photographs).
No matter what you think of your creativity level, everyone will make something beautiful during this workshop; but keep in mind that creating art is not just about producing a product rather it's about enjoying and learning through the process of unexpected discoveries!
This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!
