Re-sin'-blage: A Charming Exercise in Jewelry Adornments
Instructor: Jill  Shulse
 

Come and experience the magic of creating resin objects. We'll make molds, fill bezel cups, and will explore the myriad of ways in which resin can be used. We will transform objects into elements which can be incorporated into unique jewelry pieces and embellishments to enhance your assemblage and journaling work. We will then take these elements to the next level, to assemble your own signature, one-of-a-kind, “charming” bracelet or neckpiece..
