February Box - Resin Pot & Coaster - £24.99

February's box will contain all the items you need to complete this month's craft project: a resin pot and coaster. This box's live stream workshop will air on Sunday 21st February 1pm. You will receive your box a couple of days beforehand. If you're unable to attend the workshop, you'll have access to a recording of it following its release. The video will be available the week after the live stream workshop.

Your workshop leader will be Sophie, South London based founder of Unusual Girl Art and passionate about all things resin.

Sophie has been hooked on resin ever since making a catastrophic mess trying to pour a resin river table five years ago. Since then she's learned to tame the wild beast and now creates everything from wall art to small homeware items like coasters and plant pots using it.

​

Resin, the colourful, shiny medium known as ‘liquid glass’, has seen a phenomenal boom in popularity in recent years. As versatile as it is addictive, working with resin is a mindful creative activity with fantastic results even for beginners.  Resin can be a little intimidating and getting all the kit can be expensive, so this resin workshop is designed to provide all the materials & expertise you need to have a carefree and successful first experience.

​

Sophie will guide you through the essentials of mixing and colouring resin and using moulds so that you can create your own plant/pen pot, plus show you a resin pour technique to make a one of a kind glass coaster.  These pieces are a great entry to the magical world of resin and you'll be able to apply your new skills to all manner of other delightful creations around the house. Welcome to your new obsession :)

The following will be in your box:

• 1 reuseable silicone pot mould
• 1 glass coaster
• 150g clear casting resin
• 2 opaque pigments and 1 mica powder (you'll get to choose which colours and will also be able to add upgrades!)
• Mixing cups
• Stirring sticks
• Sandpaper
• Biodegradable nitrile gloves

You'll need something to cover your workspace (this one might get messy!) and some sellotape for the workshop.

If you're buying this box for someone else, you can include their details at the check out.  The box will be sent directly to the recipient's address, and we will send email instructions for the live stream workshop to their email address.
