Epoxy Art: Crafting Custom Coasters

Saturday, May 31st: 10:00am - 1:00pm
Instructor: Brittney Carbone

If you’re interested in epoxy but have never worked with it, this is the class for you. We’ll cover setting up your space, the correct equipment to prepare and wear, and best practices for a successful epoxy pour. We will work with an epoxy that is best for coating surfaces, which can range from finishing a tabletop to making beautiful designs on a surface. 

This particular epoxy is also workable for shallow molds. We will learn our epoxy skills by designing two types of coasters; one will be cast, and the other will be flood-coated on wood.
