About this Workshop
If you like making wood-turned boxes, you’ll love adding a really fun and easy element to your projects. Jennifer will introduce students to UV resin and a variety of ways they can use it to make unique and interesting elements. Participants will make several lidded boxes over the weekend and add unique touches to the UV resin lids. Dried flowers, a pretty shell, a coin, a small photo, the list is endless. Lids can all be embedded in UV resin. Bring whatever students can think of to put inside the resin. It must be under 1/4″ thick. Experience at the lathe and knowing how to turn and sharpen your own tools will be very helpful in this fast-paced weekend class.
