<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOCAL artist Tegan Crosbie will be opening her workshop this Saturday for a Mother’s Day earring making event.<\/p>\n
The three-hour session will provide an opportunity for participants to design and make two to three pairs of resin earrings.<\/p>\n
“Initially I wanted a pair of earrings that were unique, funky and lightweight because I couldn’t find any,” said Crosbie.<\/p>\n
“I discovered shrinky dink plastic and the process is really fun, so I started making them and posting videos online.<\/p>\n
“Lots of people were like ‘this is really cool; can you show us how to do it?'”<\/p>\n
All equipment including UV resin, UV curing stations, drill, pliers, heat guns, markers, jewellery findings and stencils will be provided. “I think I’ve done a lot of the hard work, so I’ve made the mistakes, I’ve had the devastating moments where everything breaks and it’s disappointing,” said Crosbie.<\/p>\n
“I know how to do it in a way that will set you up to be able to do it successfully.”<\/p>\n
Crosbie said the workshop will provide a great opportunity to relax and get creative.<\/p>\n
“People can just sit, do something creative with other likeminded people, and it’s a moment where they can have some time to themselves or with their mum,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes mums don’t just want slippers or some sort of appliance, they want to do an activity and spend some quality time with their loved one.”<\/p>\n
The event will be held at the Crosbie’s studio, Workshoppery in Barkly Square, on Saturday 11 May from 1.30pm.<\/p>\n
There will be more sessions on throughout the year. To book a spot, visit Crosbie’s website.<\/p>\n
Participants will get to make between two and three pairs of earrings.<\/p>\n
