In this 2.5 hour workshop Creative Glasgow member, David McDiarmid, will guide you through the enjoyable process of Jesmonite casting, teaching you how to create a beautiful set of 4x Christmas Bauble decorations for you to take home.

How to pigment Jesmonite with your own choice of colours

How to cast 4x different finishes for your Christmas Bauble set – 1x plain colour, 1x marble effect, 1x inlay and 1x splatter effect
-
How to wet sand and finish your pieces
-
How to seal your pieces for longevity at home with your own seal-at-home kit to take away
