Epoxy River-Style Round Tray

with Jess Crow

Saturday, April 5, 2:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Join Jess Crow, one of the nation's leading epoxy artistic woodworking innovators, for this brand-new class. You will learn how to create a river-style round that can be used as a clock, serving tray, Lazy Susan, or whatever your imagination can dream. Once you learn the concept you will be able to apply the techniques to whatever size or shape item you want. Jess will guide you through the river-style process including how to prepare a live-edge slab* and save on wood and epoxy using her “less is more” method. You will also learn about adding custom colors and designs, selecting and pouring the proper resin, and more! *Note: You will not use a live-edge slab in this class. Instead, you will learn Jess’ signature technique to conserve epoxy while having the look of a live river. During the class there will be a complete walkthrough on how to build a live-edge river table and a syllabus will be available covering both techniques. Tuition includes the $35 material fee.
