Resin Flowers
Join us for a hands-on craft workshop where you’ll learn to create stunning, lifelike flowers using wire and Inion resin. Perfect for beginners and craft enthusiasts alike, this session will guide you through the process of shaping delicate flower petals with wire and air-cured resin to bring your floral designs to life.
Inion resin is easy to work with, dries quickly, and adds a gorgeous translucent or opaque finish to your creations. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own custom-made flower masterpiece, along with all the skills to make more at home!
All materials are provided to make 1 or 2 flowers.
Please arrive from 9.30 to help set up the tables and chairs.
Please bring your own lunch but HACG will provide tea/coffee/milk.
