How to Epoxy Workshop

Pour your own wood epoxy coaster. We’ll provide all the supplies along with plenty of wood choices and fun epoxy colors to choose from. Choose your own wood when you arrive and up to three colors of mica powder to mix into your epoxy. Then we'll guide you through each step from a short lecture on what is epoxy, how to mix and pour, potential problems and tips & tricks.

You will then learn how to prep the coaster mold, pick out your wood and finally mix and pour epoxy! This project takes time to cure and needs after hours finishing so schedule a pickup two weeks after your workshop. When you arrive to pick up, we'll show you how to apply mineral oil to reveal the natural colors of the wood and epoxy color!

Size: 4" x 4" Each
Estimated Time: 1.5 Hours

Drop us a line to schedule your visit to have us host you or your classes for a private studio tour and professional discussion of any art topics you or your classes may have.

Can’t take the time away from your classroom? We can come over to your school for a Q and A on certain topics or simply the reassurance that a career in Art is totally viable in Wisconsin.

We have experience in Weddings, Senior Portraits, Model Shots, Engagement and teaching photography. All of our photography services come with 2 photographers that not only take photos but also help out in other areas as we know it can be a stressful day.

Every photo session comes with a flash drive with every photo we take. So if we take 1200 photos, you get 1200 photos. All organized in different folders for convenience. A release form is also included so you can print off any photo from anywhere you want.
