On the day
You will be using Jesmonite AC100 which is an acyclic and resin-based material. It is solvent free and has no VOC's so it is environmentally friendly.
Katie will show you how to mix the Jesmonite material and how to cast it into silicone moulds.
You get to play and experiment with many different colour flecks to give your Jesmonite coasters that look of Terrazzo and make your design individual to you.
While the coasters dry and cure we’ll have refreshments and will be on hand to talk to you individually providing advice or maybe you just want a chat to learn more about what it’s like in Katie’s field of work.
Katie will take your coasters back to the studio to sand and will send them out to you the following week
Refreshments will be served
