Pieces from the Farm – A Resin Pour Workshop at Cherry Mountain
July 20 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
$25.00
Take a little piece of the farm everywhere you go…
In collaboration with Cherry Mountain Farm and General Store:
This hands-on workshop will take you through the process of selecting natural farm momentos and preserving them in a resin craft of your own to take home with you.
You’ll learn all about what resin is, how to use it safely, and the myriad creative things you can make with it. Your instructor, artist and artisan Leigh Durka, will walk you through placing and pouring your objects before allowing them to cure in the sunlight. By the end of the workshop you’ll be leaving with a personalized resin craft of your choosing, from a keychain or necklace to a thoughtful display piece or a totally unique paperweight, all containing perfectly preserved objects from the farm. This could be seeds, flowers, or even candy knowing Cherry Mountain Farm…

With a keen eye for potential in what some might consider mere trash, Leigh breathes new life into these materials and invites you to explore a world where creativity knows no bounds.
After the workshop, take a stroll around the farm to see the friendly Kune Kune pigs, goats, dogs, and horse that call Cherry Mountain Farm home and definitely don’t forget to do a little shopping at the on-site general store which is bursting with all kinds of goodies, gifts, and knick knacks.
