In this 2.5 hour workshop I’ll guide you through the enjoyable process of Jesmonite casting, teaching you how to create a beautiful placemat for you to take home.

We will be using Jesmonite AC100, a versatile water-based eco-resin that is a solvent-free, safe, and easy to use alternative to traditional resins, plaster, and concrete.

In this hands-on activity, I will demonstrate techniques and provide support as you learn:

• How to mix and cast with Jesmonite using easy to source silicone moulds

• How to pigment Jesmonite with your own choice of colours

• How to cast a placemat in your chosen colour and design

• Tips for how to finish your pieces to give a more professional look

• How to seal your pieces for longevity at home with your own seal-at-home kit to take away

This workshop is aimed at beginners so no previous experience working with Jesmonite is necessary. All materials and equipment needed for the activity is provided.

Workshop FAQs

What should I wear to the workshop?

Working with jesmonite can be a wee bit messy. I advise wearing something comfortable that you don’t mind getting dirty, avoiding anything with big sleeves that may get in the way. Bringing an apron with you is also a good idea. I advise removing any rings/watches/bracelets while working. Gloves and safety glasses will be available to use.

Can children attend the workshop?

Workshops are for ages 12 and up, and all under 16s must be accompanied by a participating adult.
