The Experience

This informal workshop follows a relaxed, hands-on approach – we'll see where it takes us! Rather than just talking about techniques, you'll spend your time actually creating. You'll learn by doing, experimenting with colours and effects, and discovering how resin does its own thing (and how to take control when you need to).
