GOLD COAST RESIN WORKSHOPS
As from July 1, 2020, I will no longer be running workshops. My husband's Microbiology company, BacFerm Pty Ltd is experiencing unprecedented growth, and I will be joining the staff with producing, packing and distribution of the products made by the company.
I will continue to develop and produce artwork, and my art is available for purchase through my website.

WORKSHOP COST:
$200.00 per student for 60cm round or 50cm square artwork PLEASE NOTE: Full payment must be made in advance prior to commencing the workshop. A deposit can be paid to book in, but the balance must be paid either by bank transfer beforehand, or cash BEFORE the workshop commences. PAYMENT: Workshop cost covers all materials - including a primed board, resin and many colour pigments to choose from. Each workshop will take up to 3 hours , including a demonstration by Gayle. Resin takes at least 24 hours to cure before it should be moved. Pick up your cured work the next day, a later date, or pay for courier. Payment for participating in a workshop must be fully paid in advance, either in cash, or by bank transfer. I require a $50 deposit for each student attending, and the balance to be paid either before or on the day before the workshop. Please note: In each workshop, only one layer of Resin per student. If a student wants to add a further layer, then another workshop needs to be booked for each successive layer. SUBSTRATE SIZES Board sizes available in workshop - conditions apply: 60cm round or 50cm x 50cm square 9mm MDF will be supplied for workshop. Please nominate when booking in if round or square preferred. I will consider a rectangle of 60cm x 40cm if requested, but not larger. Please note: The substrates used in workshops do not have D-Rings supplied for hanging. Students will need to do this for themselves when they take their work home. Some students like to make their boards into a coffee table, other a lazy susan, and others want to hang their work. However I have made a YouTube video to demonstrate how I go about preparing the backs of my finished Resin artwork to get ready for hanging - see below. youtu.be/xNGzVC8tG4c PLEASE NOTE: I do not do workshops with larger than 60cm boards. Please be aware that larger substrates require substantially more Resin than the amount allocated per student, and increases the cost considerably as well as the degree of difficulty for the student. Larger works also take up more space, which can make working comfortably in a group of four or more students difficult. I will consider a rectangle of 60cm x 40cm if requested, but not larger. N0tice is required if you wish for a rectangle substrate. I have lots of coloured pigments or pastes for you to choose from, and design for your artwork is limited only by your imagination. BOOKING IN:
No prior experience is necessary. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to book in - date can be changed at least 2 days prior to workshop date if required. The balance to be paid before the commencement of the workshop. Dates and time will be arranged mutually between Gayle and student/s. Book in by contacting Gayle on the contact form on this page. Payment can be made by Electronic Transfer, Pay Pal or Cash. DISCLAIMER: I cannot guarantee that you will create a "Masterpiece" in your first lesson. The objective of a workshop is to teach technique. However I will endeavour to give you, to the best of my ability, techniques to help you to achieve a beautiful result. After that - what you put in, is what you get.
Practice, practice, practice is what is required. We all must put in the hard yards. 
Storm Surge - Multi Layer Resin Artwork, 90cm x 60cm.
Won 2nd Prize winner in RQAS Brisbane 127th Members Annual Exhibition, 2017 IMPORTANT NOTE: The minimum age for a resin workshop is 16 years.
After trialing a class which included children, I have assessed that the handling of the messy chemicals, the handling of the butane torches and handling of heat guns makes it difficult to ensure safety for children. Not suitable for pregnant women, due to chemicals that are used. |
