Service Description

Date & Time: Saturday, May 9, 2026 9:30 am - 12:30 pm Location: 7160 Fisher St SE, Calgary. (Swinton's Art Supplies) Levels: Beginner Instructor: Art Laurenson Mediums: Resin & Glass All Supplies Included! Curious about resin art but not sure where to start? In this fun and informative beginner workshop, you’ll learn the essentials of working with artist-grade resin. We’ll cover how to prepare your frame, plan your composition, and safely pour and layer your resin. You’ll then place your chosen design elements—glass, stones, shells, or beads—into your piece for a stunning, light-catching result. All materials are provided, including a small frame, and your artwork will need 24 hours to cure before pickup. Come ready to get creative and leave with the skills (and sparkle) to make more! Participants are welcome to bring their own items (costume jewellery, trinkets, shells and shiny things, etc) to add to their creations. ______________________ Artist resin is still epoxy, with low VOC and UV stable. It is no worse than a can of paint in terms of smell and effect. Acute sensitivity to chemicals may be a concern. Nitrile gloves and painters' masks will be supplied. Wet resin can be removed with mineral spirits; however, older or work clothing or a smock or bib is recommended.
