Playing with Resin Workshop (Cancelled)
2023-12-04 18:00 - 21:00 | Del Ray Artisans Gallery, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 22301, United States
This workshop has been cancelled.
Instructor: Tracy Wilkerson
Date/Time: Monday, December 4 from 6-9pm
Cost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee
Class size: 6-10 participants
(Register in advance; walk-ins accepted only if space permits.)
Learn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin, and how to use it as an adhesive, a covering, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! All supplies are provided, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s).
This workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube), but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests.
Although the class is listed for 3 hours, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week.
The workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance).

Flag Book Workshop (Register by 1/5)
2024-01-06 10:00 - 12:00 | Del Ray Artisans Gallery, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 22301, United States
Instructor: Ellen Rosenthal
Date/Time: Saturday, January 6, 10am-12pm
Cost: $18 Del Ray Artisans member / $28 Non-member; plus a $6 Supply Fee
Class size: 3-9 participants
(Register by noon on January 5)
For this workshop, we’ll take a dive into the world of artists’ books – works of art in book form – while we create a flag book. Flag books can look complicated, but you’ll be surprised how doable they are once you learn the steps, and how delightful they are to look at and experience. Your completed flag book will be ready to enhance with any type of content: text or images.
The $6.00 supply fee covers all the paper and other supplies to make the books. In addition, you will need to bring these supplies of your own to the workshop:

Ruler (12″ or longer)
Cutting board or piece of cardboard (12 x 12″ or larger)
Scissors
Pencil
Metal spoon
Colored markers or colored pencils (optional).

Note: We will be making blank flag books with 12 pages, or “flags” (double-sided). The main goal of the workshop is to learn how to construct a basic flag book, but we will have some time during the last part of the workshop to talk about ideas for content and strategies for embellishment. The instructor will have some basic art materials available to get you started, but you should plan to complete your flag book’s decoration and content at home.
