About
Learn how to make some terrazzo jesmonite homeware items at A Touch Of Craft in Ossett.
WHAT IS JESMONITE?
Jesmonite is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, water-based resin used to create many kinds of decorative homeware, art, furniture and more! It comes as a two part separated mix of powder and 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 and hue to the mixture which is then poured into silicone moulds, where it cures and becomes a beautifully, unique item!
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING?
In this 2-hour workshop you will be taught step by step, with demonstrations how to use 3 different techniques to create 3 items: a mini terrazzo pot, a large marbled coaster and a mini trinket dish / coaster. 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 but it can be a messy process and if you have plans after the work shop you may want to avoid the temporary marks! 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!
