In this workshop, each student can choose to make either:

A set of 4 epoxy resin wooden coasters

1 wooden serving board finished with epoxy resin

You’ll be guided step-by-step through the resin process, including how to safely measure, mix, colour and pour epoxy resin.

You’ll explore creative techniques including colour blending, marbling, metallic effects, abstract designs and ocean-inspired pours, giving you plenty of freedom to create something completely individual.

No previous resin experience is required.

This workshop is suitable for ages 14+.

Anyone aged 14–17 must attend with a responsible adult who is also booked onto and participating in the workshop. The accompanying adult will be responsible for the young person throughout the session.

Your finished item will need time to fully cure and will usually be ready to collect from our Nottingham store approximately one week after the workshop. Postage can also be arranged if required.

This creative resin experience is ideal for a solo creative session, date, birthday treat, parent-and-teen activity, friends’ get-together or unique gift experience.

For courses priced below our free-postage threshold, the listed price includes postage as part of our overall website pricing structure.

We may limit bookings to one place per person, meaning every participant attending the workshop must have their own individual booking.

Heat & Care Information for Your Finished Resin Piece

Your finished piece uses GlassCast 3 epoxy resin.

Cured epoxy resin is hard and durable, but it should not be treated as a heatproof surface.

As a general guideline, objects placed directly onto the finished resin should remain well below 58°C.

Avoid placing the following directly onto the resin:

• Hot mugs or cups
• Hot plates
• Saucepans or frying pans
• Ovenware
• Hot candle containers
• Anything placed directly from a kettle, oven, microwave or hob

Room-temperature and mildly warm items are generally suitable.

For anything hot, always use a coaster, trivet or heat-resistant mat.

Why is 58°C important?

The 58°C figure should not be treated as a safe hot-object temperature rating.

It relates to the resin’s glass-transition temperature after appropriate post-curing. As epoxy approaches this temperature, it may begin to soften, mark, distort or become cloudy, particularly when heat is combined with pressure or weight.

The resin also requires several days to develop its full hardness, so please avoid placing warm or heavy objects on your finished piece until it has fully cured.

Curing & Collection

Epoxy resin requires proper curing time to achieve a durable, professional finish.

Your finished resin coasters or serving board will normally be ready approximately one week after the workshop, once fully cured and quality checked.

You can:

• Collect your finished piece from our Nottingham store
• Arrange postage if preferred

Please check our full Terms & Conditions using the link at the footer of the website.

Cancellations must be made at least 7 days before the course date to be eligible for a refund.
