→ Every single week, you’ll complete the course material and work alongside each video to complete a new step each week.
→ Video Lessons range from each step of the making process, to a breakdown of waterslide or vinyl decals, sanding, and even lessons on getting good with chunky glitter!
I GET IT, TUMBLER MAKING CAN BE OVERWHELMING!
SO THIS PROGRAM IS PURPOSEFULLY DESIGNED TO TAKE AWAY THE OVERWHELM SO YOU CAN FINLLY START MAKING THOSE TUMBLERS & LET YOUR CREATIVITY SHINE.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO USE EPOXY…
→ When I first started tumblers no one was talking about the risks of using Epoxy and when I developed an allergy, I felt so alone trying to find an alternative
→ In this 5-week workshop, we will focus on making tumblers with products from The CrystaLac Company. These products are water-based and non-toxic. They have been used for over 45 years with zero reported allergic reactions. We’ll use Grande Finale, Glitter Glue, and Paints to make our tumblers safely.
→ Because the truth is, Epoxy is toxic and people and dogs are having to seek medical treatment for their allergies (HARD PASS!)
IT’S TIME TO DITCH THE EPOXY AND START SAFELY MAKING BEAUTIFUL & PROFESSIONAL LOOKING TUMBLERS
