Capacity: 6
Instructor: Alyssa Jakowchuk
Prerequisites: No experience needed.
Design a pendant with something you bring from home—a photograph, image, small item—which you imbed in resin to make a pendant. This item might be a dried flower, a wing, a seed, a charm–it could be anything not more than 1/4″ deep. Some materials will be provided. Learn to mix resin and pour it into a pendant mold. The resin will have to be cured overnight, so participants will have to come back the next day or after to finish their project.
Registration is through Kirkwood Community College. Register at:
