Join us at Duntroon Community Centre for an adults craft workshop plus refreshments. Create your own resin board with Gaye from Let's Pour. Experiment with colors and techniques. This fun and immersive workshop will get the creative juices flowing with the resin pouring down your board. Don’t miss out—secure your spot today! "Resin art is created when a liquid chemical epoxy resin combines together with various colour pigments and textures. This produces a blend of unique patterns and designs. The resin gradually hardens to a solid plastic as a chemical reaction between its 2 components takes place. Resin has between 45min and 1hr work time once the 2 chemicals are mixed together. This is the time you have to create your masterpiece." Cancellation Policy: Refunds are not available for cancellations within 48 hours of the event. If you need support in booking your ticket please contact coordinator@duntrooncommunitycentre.org.au. Please make sure you are logged in as a current DCC member to see available tickets.
