Make your own Furniture Knob Handle Workshop

  • Studio 2-16, 2nd Floor RogArt Street Campus Glasgow, Scotland, G40 2AA United Kingdom (map)

In this 2.5 hour workshop I’ll guide you through the enjoyable process of Jesmonite casting, teaching you how to create your very own set of three furniture knob handles!

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 set of 3x furniture knob handles in colours of your choice

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

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

  • Hardware and instructions for fitting your furniture knob handles will also be included

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.

DATE: Sunday 26th July 2026

TIMES: 2pm - 4.30pm

DURATION: 2.5 hours

LOCATION: Rogart Street Campus, Glasgow


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.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you book a place on this workshop and can no longer attend, notify me with over two weeks notice to get a full refund. After that, refunds will only be given if the place can be filled. Places can also be transferred to family/friend by providing me with their name and email address.
