Resin Summer Botanical Bangles, Jewellery & Accessories Workshop NEW! - Sunday 1st June 2025

10am - 4pm, June 1, 2024

Lechlade Craft Barn, Orchard House South, Downington, Lechlade GL7 3DL

Discover the art of working with both epoxy and UV resin (vegan non-toxic) with Emma from Nature's Inspiration on this fun full day workshop.

Learn how to preserve botanicals and encase within resin and how to finish these before the end of the workshop. Working with fast cure resin these will be touch dry and ready to de-mould but fully dry in 24 hours. Match to a wedding outfit or just enjoy some new jewellery and accessories for Summer 2025.

Spend this morning working with silicone moulds and epoxy resin to create a wide or narrow handmade floral bangle with real pressed flowers from Emma's garden or those she has responsibly foraged within Gloucestershire and hand pressed/dried. There will also be some sparkles available if you wish. Time permitting will dictate whether one or two are made.

Please note that moulds are typically (60, 62cm please do let us know if you have a different size hand/wrist. You can measure using a strip of paper and wrap around marking where they meet comfortably on both the widest point of your hand and wrist. Then lay flat and use a tape measure. The cuff bangle design allows a little more flexibility as it doesn't go over the hand).

The bangles will be set aside to cure but before the end of the workshop de-mould them and finish using a deburring tool to remove any sharp edges.

During the afternoon you will be working with UV resin and flower botanicals to create jewellery and accessories such as cufflinks, keyrings, earrings, pendants, rings or brooches.

Discover how to arrange the flowers before setting in your choice of pendant (heart, star, circle or Hexagon) then when cured using a UV lamp finish your pieces by adding your choice of bail, desired length of chain, earring wires etc. to make your very own resin jewellery from start to finish!
