Eco-resin Terrazzo: Make your own pair of coasters, Mothers Day Edition!
2023-03-19 14:00 - 17:00 UTC | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
During this session, you will learn how to make your own terrazzo coasters! You will have the option to make a pair of round or square coasters and we will teach you how to achieve any colour terrazzo chips and/or coaster base you want. At the end of the session, your coasters will be ready to take home.

The workshop will be running for approximately 3 hours and will be broken down in 3 parts with a 30 minutes break in between each, which will allow your creations to dry as well as provide us with the opportunity for a short natter over some complimentary refreshments.
This Mother’s Day afternoon session includes coffee and tea as well as special afternoon tea snacks. A small on-site bar will be available to purchase more drinks should you wish to.
Aurélie, our resident terrazzo extraordinaire and founder of Aura Living, will teach you all there is to know about eco-resin material, its different applications, and show you some other homeware accessory examples she has been making using this great material.

A little more about Aurélie:
“With a working background as an interior designer, I began my journey with ceramics about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, during the first lockdown, I was no longer able to access the pottery studio which made me research other crafts and activities I could practice from home. This is when I discovered the world of Jesmonite and its endless possibilities. I first purchased a DIY kit to try it for myself and I feel in love with the process, the ease of use and little requirement for specialised equipment or space. As a designer, my imagination exploded with the prospect of all the ideas I could materialise using this material. I am now so excited to be sharing my knowledge of this product for you to discover and try out a new craft skill.”

A note about the class:
The class may not be suitable for people who have any hands or wrists problems as the process requires hand sanding and polishing.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit of water splashed. The material used will wash off, but avoid wearing your best clothes!

Eco-resin Terrazzo: Make your own pair of coasters!
2023-01-19 18:00 - 21:00 | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
Love terrazzo? Learn the technique whilst making your own coaster set!
Terrazzo Coaster Workshop
During this session, you will learn how to make your own terrazzo coasters! You will have the option to make a pair of round or square coasters and we will teach you how to achieve any colour terrazzo chips and/or coaster base you want. At the end of the session, your coasters will be ready to take home.

The workshop will be running for approximately 3 hours and will be broken down in 3 parts with a 30 minutes break in between each, which will allow your creations to dry as well as provide us with the opportunity for a short natter over some complimentary refreshments.
Our new evening session includes a glass of wine (or a beer or a soft drink if you prefer) on arrival, as well as a few snacks to share during the breaks. A small on-site bar will be available to purchase more drinks should you wish to.
Aurélie, our resident terrazzo extraordinaire and founder of Aura Living, will teach you all there is to know about eco-resin material, its different applications, and show you some other homeware accessory examples she has been making using this great material.

A little more about Aurélie:
“With a working background as an interior designer, I began my journey with ceramics about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, during the first lockdown, I was no longer able to access the pottery studio which made me research other crafts and activities I could practice from home. This is when I discovered the world of Jesmonite and its endless possibilities. I first purchased a DIY kit to try it for myself and I feel in love with the process, the ease of use and little requirement for specialised equipment or space. As a designer, my imagination exploded with the prospect of all the ideas I could materialise using this material. I am now so excited to be sharing my knowledge of this product for you to discover and try out a new craft skill.”

A note about the class:
The class may not be suitable for people who have any hands or wrists problems as the process requires hand sanding and polishing.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit of water splashed. The material used will wash off, but avoid wearing your best clothes!

Eco-resin Terrazzo: Make your own pair of coasters!
2022-12-17 18:00 - 21:00 | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
Join us for a festive edition of our terrazzo workshop!
Terrazzo Coaster Workshop
During this session, you will learn how to make your own terrazzo coasters! You will have the option to make a pair of round or square coasters and we will teach you how to achieve any colour terrazzo chips and/or coaster base you want. At the end of the session, your coasters will be ready to take home.

The workshop will be running for approximately 3 hours and will be broken down in 3 parts with a 30 minutes break in between each, which will allow your creations to dry as well as provide us with the opportunity for a short natter over some complimentary refreshments.
This festive evening session includes festive drinks and festive snacks. A small on-site bar will be available to purchase more drinks should you wish to.
Aurélie, our resident terrazzo extraordinaire and founder of Aura Living, will teach you all there is to know about eco-resin material, its different applications, and show you some other homeware accessory examples she has been making using this great material.

A little more about Aurélie:
“With a working background as an interior designer, I began my journey with ceramics about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, during the first lockdown, I was no longer able to access the pottery studio which made me research other crafts and activities I could practice from home. This is when I discovered the world of Jesmonite and its endless possibilities. I first purchased a DIY kit to try it for myself and I feel in love with the process, the ease of use and little requirement for specialised equipment or space. As a designer, my imagination exploded with the prospect of all the ideas I could materialise using this material. I am now so excited to be sharing my knowledge of this product for you to discover and try out a new craft skill.”

A note about the class:
The class may not be suitable for people who have any hands or wrists problems as the process requires hand sanding and polishing.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit of water splashed. The material used will wash off, but avoid wearing your best clothes!

About this event:

Hell Bus – Darren Cullen aka Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives
Darren is a satirical artist from Leeds, now based in south London where he runs the Museum of Neoliberalism. Cullen is best known for his Mini Daily Mail, Action Man: Battlefield Casualties toys, and Pocket Money Loans payday loan shop for kids which featured at Banksy’s Dismaland.
His latest project is the Hell Bus, a pre-apocalyptic marketing suite about oil company greenwashing, focusing on Shell, and satirising the absurd spectacle of oil and gas corporations attempting to convince the public that they’re going to help save the world from oil and gas corporations.
Cullen’s anti-Shell work has previously been the subject of an unsuccessful cease and desist from Shell who didn’t find it very funny, but the bus has toured around the country from COP26 to Glastonbury and will be free to view at Make Hamilton Square on Saturday 19th November.
Pop in after work for a tour of the bus, followed by a talk and Q&A with Darren!
