ADDITIONAL NOTES
Here’s a couple of other things to know before your resin class:
It’s an advantage to do the Resin Bangle Class prior to booking into Beyond the Basics so that you know how to finish your bangles once they’re cured – you will do the final finishing of these bangles at home. This technique is learned in the Resin Bangle Class.
What to wear/bring
- An old shirt, with long sleeves and an elasticised or button-up cuff (not 3/4 sleeves)
- Wear old clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting messy
- Tie back long hair – resin is sticky!
- Glasses, if you need them for close-up work
Collecting your pieces
The resin used in this class takes 24 hours to cure so you will need to return to collect the pieces. Arrangements can be made on the day. Alternatively, shipping can be arranged.
Reviews
Don’t just take our word for it, this is what students say!
Beyond the basics bangle workshop.
“Myléne it is an absolute pleasure to be a participant in any of your classes, this one though, it was fabulous. The manner in which you teach is exemplary, talking us through each step along the way, talking us through our errors and answering a myriad of questions with grace and understanding. I highly recommend this class to anyone who has done the basic bangle workshop. New processes learnt and I’ve come away with five bangles each one different. Embedding is fun!
Thank you again Myléne.”
Fun and unique!
“Thank you Mylene for an engaging afternoon of learning such a fun and unique craft. Mylene’s patience and years of experience and expertise is truly a credit to her teaching. I look forward to experimenting with my newly learnt craft and taking another workshop in the near future.”
