What happens in this class?

We will go through all the steps needed to make your very own, unique resin seascape. Our coastal artwork class gives you a taste of pouring resin by making a set of coasters.

For the more adventurous among you, we have a variety of additional upgrades available for you on the day. After you've done your coasters, you can turn your newfound skill to pouring seascapes on one of our: side tables, serving trays or even your very own wall art piece.

The course duration is set at 2.5 hours. This is ample time for you to arrive…

Things to remember

We recommend you wear old clothes. Please be aware that Epoxy Resin takes about 7 days to fully dry and so you will not be able to leave with your piece on the day.

Had a brilliant time at the Seascapes course. Richard is very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about resin. He spent time explaining everything to us, and why we were doing it, but also gave us artistic licence with our own projects! A must do for everyone! Thank you!
Maria - 20 October 2024
What a great introduction to working with Resin we had! Richard is charismatic and so knowledgeable in his teaching, making the class fun, relaxed and open to individual creativity. By your own for a few hours of self indulging or part of a group of friends, this was an extremely satisfying experience! Highly recommended; try it!
Jamila - 8 August 2024
I really enjoyed this course; it was relaxing and well-paced. The materials are all included in the price (which helps!), and the class is not overcrowded so you get a fair shot at asking the facilitator questions. There was a slight mishap with my communications (I was sent communication that stipulated the wrong time). I really wanted to attend the class so I stayed in the area for a few hours, which thankfully had some interesting spots to hangout (namely the Arts Cafe by the river). It was an awesome day weather-wise so certainly wasn't wasted. Upon finding out the mishap, Richard (the facilitator) was very apologetic and as compensation allowed me to upgrade the course free of charge. It was certainly nice to have that customer care, and I really appreciated the opportunity. I would certainly attend another course. Fantastic workshop environment, well organised, and instructions were clear.

Your Teacher

Richard has been teaching this intro class since 2018 after realising that all the challenges of working with epoxy resin were bound to be frustrating aspiring makers around the world as much as they were for him. After realising that working with epoxy resin was actually quite easy once you knew a few simple tricks and the basic principles, he started inviting you to join him in the workshop to master the tricks of the trade for yourself.

Nick Hawke - 1 August 2024
I attended this class having had a very small dabble with epoxy resin in the past. It was a very informative experience and a real eye opener to the sorts of things that can be done with resin. There are more advanced classes for those wanting to take it to a higher level. Thoroughly recommended
Jane - 1 August 2024
Great class, really learnt a lot and such good fun. Highly recommended.
Julie - 14 July 2024
Brilliant course for those wanting to try resin. Really enjoyed this workshop it’s an excellent venue, easy to find / park with great facilities. Richard our tutor was lovely and very knowledgeable, it was easy to follow his instructions. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon I would highly recommend.
Alison - 14 July 2024
After a friends recommendation, i finally booked this class and it was amazing. Richard made us all feel at ease; giving expert tuition, but with a great attitude to allow for creativity. You leave having the skills to try this on your own, which is surely the objective of such a course 😊, but there are also options for going further into different courses (which I'll definitely try). This was a class that had been on my wish list for some time and I'm really so glad I did it.
Helene - 16 June 2024
Fantastic class, I tried to do my own resin at home without much success! The class was really relaxing, the teacher patient and ready to answer any questions! The results are amazing! Now my son wants to do a class too!
Ashima Bangur - 13 June 2024
It was my first time and I was kinda nervous cause I had never tried anything artistic. But Richard was very professional and helpful. He guided us through the whole process, answering even my silly questions. After the first round, I was confident enough to get my hands dirty for the next level. Would def recommend people to have this experience, and I'll be back for more :)
David - 3 June 2024
The Seascapes session is perfect for beginners and I was impressed at how easy it was for even people with little art talent (like me!). It helped that the instructor Richard explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. I was also impressed that he included even little details that would help should we decide to take this up at home. I recommend the River Shop and this course without reservation and would like to come back to participate in more of them.
Amogh - 12 May 2024
The class was exciting and informative. Had a lot of fun working on sea scapes.
Lorna - 7 May 2024
I did the seascape masterclass. it was really good fun. Richard was very informative and explained the process extremely clearly. Would highly recommend.
Nick - 5 May 2024
Excellent class from a very knowledgeable teacher. Had a great time!
David - 5 May 2024
A great class - very informative and enjoyable getting the chance to use resin for the first time. Richard’s approach was spot on and he answered everyone’s questions with ease and shared some great tips.
Laura - 5 May 2024
I had a lovely time on the seascape workshop. I learnt a lot and have some coasters and a chopping board I'm really pleased with.

We had an amazing time at the seascape workshop. Richard was very helpful and everything came out beautifully. Thank you 🙂
Farrol - 8 April 2024
This Seascape workshop covered so much in the 2.5 hours . Dan our teacher was super knowledgeable and guided us through the process of working with resin. Doing it with a group is helpful to see and hear what the others are doing .Hope to come back for more !
Helena - 7 April 2024
We had lovely Dan leading the lesson. Very attentive and explained the steps to us loud and clearly. Always fascinated with resin and seascapes. It was exciting from start to finish, Sister and I had a really fun time pouring our own coasters. It's amazing how everyone's coaster looks so different and so beautiful in their own ways. Can't wait to get our coasters through the post 😊🩵
Eleanor Turner - 7 April 2024
Excellent course! Really fun and engaging. The teacher was great and I really felt like I learnt enough to try some resin art at home in the future!
George Morris - 7 April 2024
Great class that made us feel we could make beautiful resin pieces after just a couple hours!
Rachna - 7 April 2024
I have been thinking of attending this workshop and so glad I could finally do it. Dan was very helpful, guided through the process and patiently answered all the questions we had. 9 of us did 4 coasters each and every single coaster was unique and beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend !
Wayne Parsons - 7 April 2024
I did three course in one day and I have to that Dan was as helpful and friendly on the last course as he was on the first course. Really well delivered and at the end of the day I felt confident to to try for myself. Well worth it.
Farani Haynes - 10 March 2024
Great & fun class! It was wonderful learning about resin in a class setting. Highly recommended!
Rebecca - 5 March 2024
I had a lovely morning at our Seascape Resin Course. I learnt so much and it made me want to continue on this journey and try some other of their courses. Matt was great, really helpful and knowledgable. Have a go, it was so much fun.
Matt Gilmour - 3 March 2024
A great example of why YouTube videos only get you half way toward understanding how to do something new. The tips and tricks of the trade that Richard and Dan imparted over my two half day courses (in one day) will I am certain help to avoid many £100s of wasted materials and an immeasurable amount of frustration. I now feel that I have the confidence in the process of developing resin based pieces, limited only by my artistic and creative capabilities! The guys had no limit as to how much of their knowledge and experience they were willing to share - way beyond the actual pieces developed in class. Oh, and they're really nice blokes too....
Lorna Sheldon - 3 March 2024
Had a really enjoyable morning and learnt so much about resin art. Matt is a great teacher. Really looking forward to getting my coasters
Monique - 9 February 2024
I had the best day! It was my first time away from my little boy and what a way to spend a morning! I thoroughly enjoyed it and think I may have a new hobby! The team were great and so friendly and informative. I cannot wait to see my finished pieces, they will take pride of place in my home. Already booked my next class with The River Shop and will be bringing my husband along too!

Alex - 8 February 2024
I really enjoyed the seascapes masterclass! It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours learning a new craft. I came away feeling like i’d gained some technical knowledge of working with epoxy resin, and the teacher was very happy to answer general questions about working with different types of resin. On the other hand, it was really well managed so it was almost impossible to mess up the resin and everyone left with unique but beautiful coasters. I chose not to do a bigger piece at the end, but bear in mind to budget for another £40++ for an add-on object.
Paula Bulgarelli - 4 February 2024
I had a Sea Scape masterclass and love it. It was fun and learnt a lot . I will definitely come back for another class. Thank you so much, it was fantastic :)
Ann-Marie Denton - 4 February 2024
Very interactive and fun. Dan the instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate. I’m looking forward to the next course
Ed - 13 January 2024
I had a great time at the seascapes workshop. This is now the third or fourth class I’ve done and it is always well run and very satisfying. I chose to also do a seascape in a circular tray (which is extra). The class was clear and well instructed. I tried a few different designs/layouts to see how it would work and had some mixed results on the coasters which gave me some more confidence ahead of my tray. I’m looking forward to see how they all turned out. I still have the coasters I made in two of the other classes which I use every day. My partner has hers on her work desk so gets to see them every day which I think is a nice reminder of a great experience.

Alice - 8 January 2024
I booked an Epoxy Resin seascape, made 4 coasters, and upgraded to make a tray as well. The teacher was really friendly and ran the class smoothly. It is fun and beginner friendly, recommended.
David - 8 January 2024
This course is great, you can make some really amazing pieces in no time at all. Can’t wait to practice this new skill more.
Zoe Shelton - 7 January 2024
Class was excellent, arranged in very small groups so that the instructor was able to offer individual guidance and help where required. Will definitely be back

Was a really good experience and learned a lot. The teachers are good can pick there brains about everything
Anita - 8 November 2023
We both had a great time learning how to do seascapes. Dan have a very good demonstration, with clear explanations. Between all of us we made twenty coasters - every one a unique piece. It was exciting to learn how one little change of quantity or technique can change the look of a piece. There was a great mix of people in the small group, and we're looking forward to doing another class next year!

Yuga - 7 November 2023
Came for another session, this time in Seascapes. Dan was funny, a good teacher and happy with my coasters!
Belen - 6 November 2023
I learnt how to make four resin coasters decorated with a seaside landscape and I absolutely loved it. The teacher was very good and explained very well what needed to be done. After making the coasters there was a possibility to upgrade to decorate a bigger project (wooden tray, chopping board…) you had to pay for this separately tho. I would definitely come back to try a different class in the future.
Shilpa - 31 October 2023
Venue was good, free parking on site. Richard was a great teacher with a wealth of knowledge about Resin. I loved the class, stayed longer to do another piece and would definitely be back to do more classes with Richard.
Libby Marchant - 9 October 2023
Really enjoyed the seascapes resin course and was so pleased with what I created under Richard's instruction.
Amanda - 8 October 2023
Had a very enjoyable morning doing the seascape resin course ran by Richard. Not done anything like this before but would love to do it again, Richard explained every thing in simple easy to follow instructions and the end results were better than expected 👍
Manda Patel - 18 September 2023
Enjoyable class I wish I had paid more attention I would have had a better end result
Josh - 10 September 2023
A great morning class for all levels, and one that encourages creative approaches to make unique seascapes! Some solid guidance from Richard showed how you can confidently work with epoxy resin on your own projects – most definitely worth trying out!
Rosh - 9 September 2023
I loved the seascapes class, Richard is incredibly passionate about epoxy resin and woodwork, and is very knowledgeable, no matter how many questions you throw at him! Everyone in the class was able to produce beautiful coasters, serving boards and artwork under his guidance, and I feel much more confident with the medium now. I'd love to return and do one of his other workshops and will likely be gifting a few of the at home starter kits as Christmas presents too. Can't wait to receive my finished pieces :)
Adam - 9 September 2023
How to seal the wood, pour the resin and how create a wavy seascape scene art piece. The teacher was friendly and a great teacher, very helpful. The venue was very warm but that's because on the day it was very hot outside, the teacher did what he could to reduce the heat, otherwise the venue was nice enough and had a decent amountcofcparking available. I'd certainly recommend the course Course done: 10am, 9th Sept 2023

Inspirational and fun, I loved learning about creating seascapes. Our Tutor Dan was knowledgeable and helpful, taking us through each step with clear instructions and plenty of individual support. Can't wait to try some more! Good to meet the other participants too, in a relaxed happy class. Thank you
Lazarus Cardoza - 20 August 2023
Great course. Enjoyed the learning. Good tutor. Knows how to move the class forward to create the final product. Can't wait for the the next class in resin table making.
Donna - 15 August 2023
The seascapes class was excellent. The teacher's are very patient, knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend the course.
Wilson - 16 June 2023
It was my first time trying resin art so I really appreciated learning about the science behind the art. Richard and Dan were great instructors and made everything really newbie friendly. Excited to see what the final pieces look like!

Katie - 13 June 2023
Had a lovely day today learning how to do seascapes with Richard! We were a small group of 8 which was a perfect size and Richard was so friendly and knowledgeable teaching us step by step and giving us some great tips! Everyone’s seascapes look great (it’s hard to go wrong) and love that we will all have something to keep from the day too. Thanks Richard, I’ll definitely be coming again soon!

Rebecca Anderson - 4 June 2023
The instructor, Richard was informative, friendly and generally put the class at ease. He explained what we were going to do as well as giving us a demo, which for a visual learner is great. He asked and answered questions and I throughly enjoyed my time there.
Joana Dungca - 4 June 2023
It was our first time to do resin art and I had the best experience being guide guided by professionals like Richard and Dan. I wouldn't have done this as a DIY on my own. There was a lot to consider even in terms of working environment and room temperature. Excited to try more advanced classes later 😁
Kirsty - 13 May 2023
I was lucky enough to be invited to go with my friend Natalie to the Epoxy Resin Flower Coaster making class. Richard was a great teacher, explained everything and was very knowledgeable. It was a great way to spend a morning, it was my first time at a class in this area and will certainly be back again
Tosin Bamgbala - 8 May 2023
Absolutely amazing. Great teacher. Super patient, answering all our questions and equally educating us. Would definitely recommend and I plan to do more courses. Bonus of the day, knowing that after learning, I am able to purchase an item and create on to it also. Brilliant.
Laura mary Denny - 7 May 2023

Attended seascape master class. Richard is so nice teacher and he explains everything you need to know. very comfortable and cozy environment, Highly recommended, and waiting to see my finished coaster
Laura - 27 April 2023
Excellent exerience!! I learned a lot and it was fun. Can't wait to try on my own!!
Paul - 21 April 2023
I really enjoyed the course, very informative but also great fun. This was my first time working with in this medium and Richard is a great instructor very knowledgable and delivers the course at the right pace. A really excellent afternoon
Mattias - 20 April 2023
Once again a great class from the River Shop!!! The explanation and process were easy to follow and the results were nice considering it was the first time using this approach with resin. Can't wait to try more in the future!
Philippa Jefferis - 20 April 2023
A great class and a satisfying result at the end, considering I started as a total beginner. I feel a little more structure to the day, and perhaps signposting of expectations - a few more hints and tips on how to get effects. Richard was friendly and welcoming, though at the start a simple "Hi, are you here for this workshop" was missing - a small detail but just sets the right tone from the beginning. Overall though, a really enjoyable workshop and I will be keen to further my use of this material and will look to book future classes.
kathryn wood - 17 April 2023
Fabulous workshop! Richard was a great tutor and explained everything very well. The workshop space is amazing and the workstation was set up beforehand with everything. I went with my 8 year old son who loves art and he was able to make his very own coasters which he was so proud of. I can’t wait to enrol on another course in June! Would thoroughly recommend. The free parking outside the studio made life easier too. Thanks so much.
Tracy - 22 March 2023
We attended the seascapes course on Saturday 18th March ‘23. - and really enjoyed it. The course is clear and informative and Richard has a really calm and helpful manner. Class size was just right too and the workshop is so well kitted out. It was my Xmas present from my husband - we just wanted to try it out - mission accomplished and we made some rather impressive coasters, a tray and cheese board we can be proud of!
Michael - 21 March 2023
Had a great day at The River Shop. We did a course in the morning as a continuation of an earlier part course and” Seascapes “ in the afternoon. Both were great fun, interesting and well taught by Richard. We eagerly await our projects when they are ready to be sent.

Chiara - 20 March 2023
It was my first time with epoxy resin and I loved every single moment of it! I'm definitely coming back for another course!
Bindu Ramachandraiah - 20 March 2023
The weekend workshop on seascapes was attended by me.I thoroughly enjoyed the entire class. Richard is an excellent instructor who is well organized, patient, and knowledgeable. Undoubtedly, I'll schedule for more classes. Highly recommended if anyone wants to to get a strong foundation on how to use Epoxy resin.
Gail Murrell - 19 March 2023
"A great afternoons introduction to using epoxy resin, I enjoyed Richard’s seascapes class immensely, I knew nothing about epoxy resin and left inspired to try the process at home, armed with the basic principles and practical tips. He is a very supportive tutor, patient and knowledgeable. Great day!"
Andrea - 18 March 2023
Great afternoon,. Lovely workshop and beautiful products. Richard was Knowledgeable and helpful and I enjoyed his class very much my sister and I are planning to return soon! The only bit I wasn't comfortable with was introductions at the beginning, but other than that fab!
Marina - 26 February 2023
Good class for those who never did art before. Only it would be nice to have more resin that one cup that was provided.
Ilona Melnychuk - 26 February 2023
Leading up to the class communication with Richard was great. However, when we arrived it seemed like the class was overbooked and we had to work on a side bench, away from the main work bench where the teacher gave instruction. We didn't have aprons like everyone else and the cups that were underneath our coasters were too narrow so my coaster fell over a few times - not great when you're working with a wet medium. The were not enough heat blowers for everyone and the ones we had kept running out of battery mid blow. Quite frustrating considering that you have about 15 minutes to blow on the white part of the resin to make waves. There was also a mix up with my payment and I was asked mid resin pour (and while the heat blowers were going off because there was not enough battery) what the story was. I was more than happy to pay what was needed after having put a lot of effort to organise this for my boyfriends birthday, but I felt like I had done something wrong or I was trying to get away with not paying. Again, I put a lot of effort, and it's not a cheap class, to organise this but the whole experience made me very close to crying as we were putting on our coats to leave. I really didn't want to leave this review as I know that it's not easy for small businesses. However, we were told in the class that we would not get our finished pieces sent to us unless we left a review. We paid for the postage in the class price. So, here it is. I'd really like our finished pieces, please.
Maria - 23 February 2023
Really enjoyed the course with my mum. We’ve been watching resin videos for awhile and wanted to try it. Feel more confident now to experiment further. Teacher was very knowledgeable and was a great day out. Thank you 👍
Andrew - 20 February 2023
My second resin course at River Shop and while it recapped on some of the elements of the first course this was more focussed on resin art rather than resin casting which was covered in the beginners epoxy resin workshop. New techniques were demonstrated and practical applications explained and then we were issued with resin and left to create our own 'masterpieces' - go easy with the resin, it needs to go a long way as there are four coasters to cover. All in all a fun informative course which I would recommend to anyone wishing to get an insight into how to create resin based art.
Lana - 20 February 2023
Amazing experience, I don't think you can find something similar elsewhere. Very well-organised and funny. We taught how to work with epoxy, what we should avoid and the potential of this material. The only thing I would recommend to make it even better - is to spend more time showing the painting technics.
Christina Demetriou - 19 February 2023
Visited with my daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed the course with Richard. We loved learning about different types of resin, the ideal temperature, tools, dyes and the application. Best bit of all was getting away from our ‘norm’ and trying something new and awakening our creative selves. Thank you. 👍
Charlene Lopes - 19 February 2023
The teacher was very profissional and kind . I recommend the class and plan make other classes as well .
Liudmyla Zinievych - 14 February 2023
It was very hard to find the place and there wasn't a number to contact the organiser. So my friends ended up being late because they were looking for the place for too long and when they arrived they weren't let in!
Alison - 1 February 2023
Thos was a fantastic course. Wull definitely look out for more.
Jen&Fraser - 23 January 2023
Thanks to all the rivershop crew for seascapes course!😍
Ayako Lay - 22 January 2023
It was a fun and great workshop to attend. The instruction was very clear and Dan and Agi(sorry if I spelled it wrong) were both very helpful ! Highly recommend it
Fran - 22 January 2023
Great class - very enjoyable. Teachers were knowledgeable and friendly. Only downside was limited equipment for blowing the resin.
Olesya Gulyaeva - 22 January 2023
I absolutely loved the Seascape Resin Workshop as it was my first dive into the world of resin. I learnt the basics of working with epoxy resin through a little theory and practice and cannot wait to explore the other masterclasses River Shop has to offer. Thank you!

A relaxed and informative class where you really couldn’t get anything wrong. Everything was prepped and ready to use. If you are looking at relaxing and doing something different this class is perfect… I wanted instant results with a finished product looking like you are a professional … it ticked all my boxes. Give it a go… no disappointments!!!!

A great afternoon and I was really pleased with how my coasters turned out. I'd never used resin before but the teachers were so helpful and explained and demonstrated everything as we went along. I will definitely be back to make a river table!

Michaela - 8 January 2023
Absolutely loved this class! Richard was a phenomenal teacher with passion and a wealth of knowledge. The pieces I created during the class turned out better than I would have expected to top it all off. Would highly recommend.

It was a very informative session .
Melody - 20 December 2022
Would highly recommend this class. I'd never used resin before but Richard explained the whole process thoroughly with a full demonstration first. Really interesting to learn the techniques for making seascapes and then make our own coasters. There's also time at the end of the course to make additional items if you want to, whilst I didn't have time to stay and do that, it's a really nice optional extra. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Can't wait to see the my fully finished coasters!

A very enjoyable and informative class. Richard was happy to answer all our questions. I'm looking forward to seeing the pieces we made on Saturday

Good experience, anyone can do it you have to be artsy. Nice way to dip your toe into something new. Instruction thorough & well given, all questions welcomed lots of knowledge about surfaces. Enjoyed my class looking into going again. Thanks.

The class has been great. The instructor has been very organised and knowledgable. Definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to get a strong foundation on how to use Epoxy resin.

Great workshop, super happy with the coasters we made!
Sophie - 28 October 2022
Richard was very knowledgable and ensured we talked through the process thoroughly. This was very interactive, he’d ask questions in such a way, that the knowledge imparted has really stuck. Practically, it was very enjoyable working with the median of Resin, which was a first for me and it has definitely given me the taste to experiment with it further. My mother and I are likely to set up some more time with Richard so we can explore this further. Thanks again!
Loraine Solanilla - 24 October 2022
This class was really informative and a great introduction to resin. Richard was really engaging with the group- an excellent teacher! It’s definitely given me the confidence to continue and experiment with resin at home. Thank you!
Pritanya - 23 September 2022
Richard is very passionate about the topic and very professional. It was a very fun and hands-on experience. Something very much outside of my comfort zone, and who knew I was so artistic. Would recommend .
Catherine - 22 September 2022
A really enjoyable course learning to mix different coloured resins to form sea scapes and cool patterns. All the processes were explained and demonstrated really well and it was very fun having a go.
Ismael - 22 September 2022
After lots of epoxy binging on YouTube. I finally joined a class. It was my first time with resin and Richard explained all about it as well as doing a first "demo" of the process. Which found really helpful to understand what you should be aware of and what you need to do. Timing was on point. Overall cool and fun experience.
Kamile - 30 August 2022
The class was so much fun, we learnt about the resin and the quantities you need etc. We also covered the 4 main things that we need to know and remember when working with resin. The class was full of great energy, everyone was really involved and creative. Thanks for a great workshop Richard.

Lovely studio and conducive environment for learning. Great tips
Georgia - 22 August 2022
I took part in the Epoxy Resin Seascapes course on Saturday and it was the first time I'd ever used resin before. It was such a fun course and really interesting as Richard takes you through how resin is made and also how to work with it. Really fun course, I would highly recommend :)

Louise Varley - 17 July 2022
I was given this as a birthday present, and it was a really fun and informative afternoon. We made lovely seascape coasters and were so pleased we stayed to make a tray. Richard is an excellent teacher, very knowledgable on resin and woodwork. I would thoroughly recommend this course and will be looking into the other courses he offers.
Vivienne Singelis - 17 July 2022
I thoroughly enjoyed my first resin seascapes class (with coasters and a tray). I found Richard to be an excellent and inspiring teacher who’s friendly and helpful. He’s also knowledgeable, creative, and has a broad range of artistic and technical skills and experience. Richard’s enjoyment of teaching is palpable! I look forward to exploring further courses with him in the future.

I had a excellent time on this course, the venue was very inspiring and the Teacher was helpful and informative, we learnt how to mix epoxy and learn the different types of epoxy for different projects, it was an easy course to follow with very satisfying results, I was able to upgrade on the day to do a seascape chopping board and I’m so pleased with the result. I fully recommend this course, you won’t be disappointed.
Ahmet Sakalli - 8 June 2022
I've attended the Beginners class and then the Seascapes. I want to say that both classes were very well structured and informative. Richard took enough time to answer all of our questions and to explain us in depth how to work with the materials. I learned a lot of useful things and enjoyed both classes. I would definitely really them to anyone that wants to have fun, learn new skill or start building own projects.
Amanda Baptiste - 4 June 2022
Brilliant morning, the tutor was very informative, so I was able to complete the project confidently . I loved Richard’s style of teaching very encouraging, very excited about my next workshop!
Ahmet Sakalli - 2 June 2022
We attended to beginners epoxy resin class few weeks ago and decided to try seascapes course as well. It was well organised and so much fun. Richard is brilliant in explaining things and showing us new ways to apply. If you’re into epoxy I’d definitely recommend this course! Lovely atmosphere. Thank you once again🙏🏼🍀
Daiva - 31 May 2022
Lovely experience, I really enjoyed. It took me 1hr 40 min to travel to the studio because I live far away but it was worth it and I would do it again. It was great to learn and to see how other students do it, also - learn from our mistakes. I'll be attending other classes in a future. Seascape coasters that I created look nice and other students' work also looked great when we finished.
Natalie Davies - 29 May 2022
Great fun learning the techniques of resin pouring to create seascape coasters. Richard is a great teacher and the time just flew
Katherine Mou - 29 May 2022
The seascape resin class is perfect for beginners or first time resin users like me! Richard was very knowledgeable and the class was a lot of fun! I can’t wait to see my finished coasters and tray!
Jen McVitty - 29 May 2022
This was our 2nd time my husband and I attended one of Richard's resin class. It was a very fun class and well organised. Richard is very knowledgeable and very friendly. We are thinking of doing another class we love it much. For anyone interested in learning about resin, I would highly recommend his classes. We can't wait to see our finished product. Thanks Richard!
Robyn Oliver - 29 May 2022
My second resin class with the River Shop and I loved it just as much as the first- but this time I had the knowledge from the previous class to help me pick better colours/ get a better result and I’m so happy with my final seascape tray & coasters! It’s always a friendly learning experience and I would recommend (and have recommended) this class to everybody! The number of people in this group who were returning to the class shows how great it is!
Ben Batchelor - 22 May 2022
Had great fun on the epoxy coaster class! Picked a picture frame as my optional additional piece and really enjoyed doing a larger surface
