VENUE: The Mile Campsite and Cafe, Pocklington, York YO42 1TW
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING?
In this 3-hour workshop you will be taught step by step, with demos how to create a Jesmonite Plant Pot - dimensions 12cm height, 15cm width, 10cm depth - using Terrazzo, Marbling, Block Colour & Drip techniques. We will be practicing on smaller moulds before the plant pot, so you can get a good understanding of how your product will look/the material works.
All materials for each process are provided so you don't have to bring anything other than yourself & potentially an apron/large shirt if you want to keep your clothes clean - Jesmonite washes out in the washing machine however Jesmonite Pigment can stain, so beware. It will be a messy process & if you have plans after the workshop you may want to cover your outfit. Best of all, because Jesmonite is quick to set, you will be able to take your creations home with you at the end of the workshop!

WHAT IS JESMONITE?
Jesmonite is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, water-based resin used to create many kinds of decorative homeware, art, furniture & more! It comes as a two part separated mix of powder & liquid which at 1-2.5 ratio is mixed together to form a milky mixture. Naturally Jesmonite has an off white colour to it, so coloured pigments are used to give tone & hue to the mixture which is then poured into silicone moulds, where it cures & becomes a beautifully, unique item!
