CLASS FAQ

Travelling with your work

We recommend you rideshare to allow you to hold your work with both hands on the way home from the venue - your work needs to remain as level as possible and can not be left at the venue overnight (will need to be taken home). We suggest carpooling, travelling via uber, taxi or even public transport to ensure you can travel home holding your work level.

Age restrictions

We recommend students 16 and over for this class, younger students must be accompanied by a 1:1 supervisor and must read the SDS to make an informed decision as to the appropriateness of the use of chemicals by a minor.

Parking

There is plenty of parking available on-site.

What to wear to class?

Please wear old clothing, with long sleeves, you are attending an art class and should dress accordingly. Silicone once cured can be difficult to remove - we can not provide aprons at this time due to covid restrictions, therefore you should dress for art.

You will use gloves and safety goggles.

What product is used in this class?

Liquid Silicone RTV (room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone) is a two-part system that can be mixed and poured into a mould. It cures at room temperature and can be used to create highly detailed resin art moulds. This is a Liquid Silicone Rubber, if you have allergies to either you can not participate in this class.
