Receive a SPECIAL 20% discount when you book a pair of tickets with your creativity mate this month to help bring the love of arts into your lives! Look for the 'MATES RATES' option in the tickets section. In the first section, you will learn about jesmonite crafting and work with By Shax founder, Shalaka Laxman, to make a pair of your own professional-looking coasters for your home or as a wonderful gift for someone else. Experiment with casting using pigmentation, marbling, and finishing techniques. You'll also learn about the versatility of Jesmonite AC100, a water-based eco-resin widely used to make decorative moulded objects. It is safe to use and contains no harmful chemicals. While we wait for your finished coasters to solidify, we will explore the world of Japanese wellness, a sustainable lifestyle approach based on longevity, with Mogami founder Saori Okada. Saori will walk you through the Japanese wellness puzzle, a five-piece wellness puzzle that can be utilized in your life today. We will focus on the art of presence and the need for creative flow with an intention-setting practice of Japanese calligraphy. What's included: All materials to make your own pair of hexagonal coasters. Protective gloves. Some refreshments as we wait for your coasters to dry. Calligraphy pens and paper for Japanese calligraphy writing.
