This course is focused on the basics of working with epoxy resin and the exploration of various possibilities of this material.
The students will learn how to mix resin, add colors, incorporate other materials during the hardening process, give form to resin through several methods, and some simple techniques to finish the pieces into jewellery.
Exercises:
-a simple silicon mould to pour resin into
-a ring in resin with a part in metal
-a bracelet in resin
-a pair of earrings in resin
-experimentation in combining resin with other materials (paper, threads, wire, objects
etc...)
Tools and non-precious materials, as well as handouts on the course are supplied by the school.
