Make your own geode Friday
The weekend is a great time to learn a new skill and make decorative art. Resin geodes have been growing in popularity for a while now, so it’s a fantastic time to learn to make your own at Create Studios on Friday, July 29.
Create Studios’ two-hour guided workshop, led by studio owner and professional resin artist Tanya Ruffin, will walk you through the entire process of creating two DIY resin geodes. To make it as easy as possible, the studio is providing each participant with all of the tools they will need to complete the project. Your only job is to dress appropriately. Though aprons are provided, the paints, resin and dyes can get extremely messy.
Create Studios is at 546 Bienville Street. Tickets range from $89.99 to $99.99 and account for all materials provided; click here to buy them. The only cancellations eligible for a refund are those made at least seven days before the event. The class starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. Geodes cure overnight and must be picked up the next day.
