The River Shop

Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass - Seascapes

Ben Batchelor

Had great fun on the epoxy coaster class! Picked a picture frame as my optional additional piece and really enjoyed doing a larger surface 

Robyn Oliver

My second resin class with the River Shop and I loved it just as much as the first- but this time I had the knowledge from the previous class to help me pick better colours/ get a better result and I’m so happy with my final seascape tray & coasters! It’s always a friendly learning experience and I would recommend (and have recommended) this class to everybody! 
The number of people in this group who were returning to the class shows how great it is! 

Jen McVitty 

This was our 2nd time my husband and I attended one of Richard's resin class.  It was a very fun class and well organised. Richard is very knowledgeable and very friendly. We are thinking of doing another class we love it much. For anyone interested in learning about resin, I would highly recommend his classes. We can't wait to see our finished product. Thanks Richard! 

Katherine Mou

The seascape resin class is perfect for beginners or first time resin users like me! Richard was very knowledgeable and the class was a lot of fun! I can’t wait to see my finished coasters and tray! 

Natalie Davies

Great fun learning the techniques  of resin pouring to create seascape coasters. Richard is a great teacher and the time just flew

Daiva

Lovely experience, I really enjoyed. It took me 1hr 40 min to travel to the studio because I live far away but it was worth it and I would do it again. 

It was great to learn and to see how other students do it, also - learn from our mistakes. I'll be attending other classes in a future. Seascape coasters that I created look nice and other students' work also looked great when we finished.

Ahmet Sakalli

We attended to beginners epoxy resin class few weeks ago and decided to try seascapes course as well. It was well organised and so much fun. Richard is brilliant in explaining things and showing us new ways to apply. If you’re into epoxy I’d definitely recommend this course! Lovely atmosphere. Thank you once again🙏🏼🍀

Amanda Baptiste

Brilliant morning, the tutor was very informative, so I was able to complete the project confidently . I loved Richard’s style of teaching very encouraging, very excited about my next workshop! 

I've attended the Beginners class and then the Seascapes. I want to say that both classes were very well structured and informative. Richard took enough time to answer all of our questions and to explain us in depth how to work with the materials.   I learned a lot of useful things and enjoyed both classes. I would definitely really them to anyone that wants to have fun, learn new skill or start building own projects. 


Gail

I had a excellent time on this course, the venue was very inspiring and the Teacher was helpful and informative, we learnt how to mix epoxy and learn the different types of epoxy for different projects, it was an easy course to follow with very satisfying results, I was able to upgrade on the day to do a seascape chopping board and I’m so pleased with the result. I fully recommend this course, you won’t be disappointed.

Fernanda 

I had an amazing afternoon!!! Very professional. I will make another’s classes.
I recommend !!! 

Donna

A great introduction to working with epoxy resin, inspired to do further courses. Enjoyed Richard's class very much; he's  a very engaged and supportive  tutor, highly skilled and knowledgeable. 

Vivienne Singelis

I thoroughly enjoyed my first resin seascapes class (with coasters and a tray). I found Richard to be an excellent and inspiring teacher who’s friendly and helpful. He’s also knowledgeable, creative, and has a broad range of artistic and technical skills and experience. 
Richard’s enjoyment of teaching is palpable! I look forward to exploring further courses with him in the future.


Louise Varley

I was given this as a birthday present, and it was a really fun and informative afternoon. We made lovely seascape coasters and were so pleased we stayed to make a tray. Richard is an excellent teacher, very knowledgable on resin and woodwork. I would thoroughly recommend this course and will be looking into  the other courses he offers.

Gail Mitchell

Had a great afternoon, very informative and Richard was helpful and enthusiastic, was able to upgrade on the day to make a seascape chopping board, I totally recommend this course 

Rachel Viomesnil

The session was so fun. We really enjoyed it 
We will defo do it again 

Lisa De Souza

Great teaching and explanations and the effects you can get are amazing.

Georgia

I took part in the Epoxy Resin Seascapes course on Saturday and it was the first time I'd ever used resin before. It was such a fun course and really interesting as Richard takes you through how resin is made and also how to work with it. Really fun course, I would highly recommend :) 

Gbemisola  Adedipe 

Lovely  studio and conducive  environment for learning. Great tips 


Kamile

The class was so much fun, we learnt about the resin and the quantities you need etc. We also covered the 4 main things that we need to know and remember when working with resin. 

The class was full of great energy, everyone was really involved and creative. Thanks for a great workshop Richard. 

Ismael

After lots of epoxy binging on YouTube. I finally joined a class. 
It was my first time with resin and Richard explained all about it as well as doing a first "demo" of the process. Which found really helpful to understand what you should be aware of and what you need to do. Timing was on point. Overall cool and fun experience.  

Catherine 

A really enjoyable course learning to mix different coloured resins to form sea scapes and cool patterns. All the processes were explained and demonstrated really well and it was very fun having a go.

Pritanya

Richard is very passionate about the topic and very professional. It was a very fun and hands-on experience. Something very much outside of my comfort zone, and who knew I was so artistic. Would recommend .

Loraine Solanilla


This class was really informative and a great introduction to resin. Richard was really engaging with the group- an excellent teacher! It’s definitely given me the confidence to continue and experiment with resin at home. Thank you! 

Sophie Shea

Richard was very knowledgable and ensured we talked through the process thoroughly. This was very interactive, he’d ask questions in such a way, that the knowledge imparted has really stuck. Practically, it was very enjoyable working with the median of Resin, which was a first for me and it has definitely given me the taste to experiment with it further. My mother and I are likely to set up some more time with Richard so we can explore this further. Thanks again! 

Gauthie Gras

Great workshop, super happy with the coasters we made!

Alexandru Andronic

The class has been great. The instructor has been very organised and knowledgable. Definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to get a strong foundation on how to use Epoxy resin. 

Katrina Peters

Good experience, anyone can do it you have to be artsy. Nice way to dip your toe into something new. 
Instruction thorough & well given, all questions welcomed lots of knowledge about surfaces. 
Enjoyed my class looking into going again. 
Thanks. 

Lynne

A very enjoyable and informative class. Richard was happy to answer all our questions. I'm looking forward to seeing the pieces we made on Saturday

Melody Barnes

Would highly recommend this class. I'd never used resin before but Richard explained the whole process thoroughly with a full demonstration first. Really interesting to learn the techniques for making seascapes and then make our own coasters.
There's also time at the end of the course to make additional items if you want to, whilst I didn't have time to stay and do that, it's a really nice optional extra.
Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Can't wait to see the my fully finished coasters!

Rima Tibrewal

Michaela

Absolutely loved this class! Richard was a phenomenal teacher with passion and a wealth of knowledge. The pieces I created during the class turned out better than I would have expected to top it all off. Would highly recommend.

Jerri Moore

I had a lovely day, was great fun
Teachers were great and really helpful
Met lovely people
Loved the items I made, will definitely do another class

Louise  Chambers

A great afternoon and I was really pleased with how my coasters turned out. I'd never used resin before but the teachers were so helpful and explained and demonstrated everything as we went along. I will definitely be back to make a river table! 

Lucindy  Stoker

A relaxed and informative class where you really couldn’t get anything wrong. Everything was prepped and ready to use.  If you are looking at relaxing and doing something different this class is perfect… I wanted instant results with a finished product looking like you are a professional … it ticked all my boxes. Give it a go… no disappointments!!!!

Olesya Gulyaeva

I absolutely loved the Seascape Resin Workshop as it was my first dive into the world of resin. I learnt the basics of working with epoxy resin through a little theory and practice and cannot wait to explore the other masterclasses River Shop has to offer. Thank you!

Lleo Harress

Great class - very enjoyable. Teachers were knowledgeable and friendly. Only downside was limited equipment for blowing the resin. 

Ayako Lay

It was a fun and great workshop to attend. The instruction was very clear and Dan and Agi(sorry if I spelled it wrong) were both very helpful ! Highly recommend it 

Jennifer Grant

Thanks to all the rivershop crew for seascapes course!😍

Alison Moretti

Thos was a fantastic course. Wull definitely look out for more.

Liudmyla Zinievych

It was very hard to find the place and there wasn't a number to contact the organiser. So my friends ended up being late because they were looking for the place for too long and when they arrived they weren't let in!

Charlene Lopes

The teacher was very profissional and kind . I recommend the class  and plan make other classes as well . 

Christina Demetriou

Visited with my daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed the course with Richard. We loved learning about different types of resin,  the ideal temperature, tools, dyes and the application. Best bit of all was getting away from our ‘norm’ and trying something new and awakening our creative selves. Thank you. 👍

Svetlana Belous

Amazing experience, I don't think you can find something similar elsewhere. Very well-organised and funny. We taught how to work with epoxy, what we should avoid and the potential of this material. The only thing I would recommend to make it even better - is to spend more time showing the painting technics. 

Andrew Smith

My second resin course at River Shop and while it recapped on some of the elements of the first course this was more focussed on resin art rather than resin casting which was covered in the beginners epoxy resin workshop. New techniques were demonstrated and practical applications explained and then we were issued with resin and left to create our own 'masterpieces' - go easy with the resin, it needs to go a long way as there are four coasters to cover. All in all a fun informative course which I would recommend to anyone wishing to get an insight into how to create resin based art. 

Maria

Really enjoyed the course with my mum. We’ve been watching resin videos for awhile and wanted to try it. Feel more confident now to experiment further. Teacher was very knowledgeable and was a great day out. Thank you 👍

Marina Annaberdieva

Good class for those who never did art before. Only it would be nice to have more resin that one cup that was provided.


Andrea

Great afternoon,. Lovely workshop and beautiful products. Richard was Knowledgeable and helpful and I enjoyed  his class very much my sister and I are planning to return soon!  The only bit I wasn't comfortable with was introductions at the beginning,  but other than that fab! 

Gail  Murrell

"A great afternoons introduction to using epoxy resin, I enjoyed Richard’s seascapes class immensely, I knew nothing about epoxy resin and left inspired to try the process at home, armed with the basic principles and practical tips. He is a very supportive tutor, patient and knowledgeable. Great day!"

Bindu Ramachandraiah 

The weekend workshop on seascapes was attended by me.I thoroughly enjoyed the entire class. Richard is an excellent instructor who is well organized, patient, and knowledgeable. Undoubtedly, I'll schedule for more classes. Highly recommended if anyone wants to  to get a strong foundation on how to use Epoxy resin.

Chiara

It was my first time with epoxy resin and I loved every single moment of it! I'm definitely coming back for another course! 

tanya

Excellent course, Richard was very thorough in his explanations and demonstrations. I am looking to book onto a river table course in the future.

Michael

Had a great day at The River Shop. We did a course in the morning as a continuation of an earlier part  course and” Seascapes “ in the afternoon. Both were great fun, interesting and well taught by Richard. We eagerly await our projects when they are ready to be sent. 

Tracy

We attended the seascapes course on Saturday 18th March ‘23. - and really enjoyed it.  The course is clear and informative and Richard has a really calm and helpful manner.  Class size was just right too and the workshop is so well kitted out.  It was my Xmas present from my husband - we just wanted to try it out - mission accomplished and we made some rather impressive coasters, a tray and cheese board we can be proud of! 

kathryn wood

Fabulous workshop! Richard was a great tutor and explained everything very well. The workshop space is amazing and the workstation was set up beforehand with everything. I went with my 8 year old son who loves art and he was able to make his very own coasters which he was so proud of. 
I can’t wait to enrol on another course in June!  Would thoroughly recommend. The free parking outside the studio made life easier too. Thanks so much. 

Philippa  Jefferis

A great class and a satisfying result at the end, considering I started as a total beginner. I feel a little more structure to the day, and  perhaps signposting of expectations - a few more hints and tips on how to get effects.  Richard was friendly and welcoming, though at the start a simple "Hi, are you here for this workshop" was missing - a small detail but just sets the right tone from the beginning. 

Overall though, a really enjoyable workshop and I will be keen to further my use of this material and will look to book future classes.

Mattias Lullini

Once again a great class from the River Shop!!! The explanation and process were easy to follow and the results were nice considering it was the first time using this approach with resin.
Can't wait to try more in the future!

Paul Elcome

I really enjoyed the course, very informative but also great fun. This was my first time working with in this medium and Richard is a great instructor very knowledgable and delivers the course at the right pace. A really excellent afternoon

Laura

Excellent exerience!! I learned a lot and it was fun. Can't wait to try on my own!!

Rubeena  Mohamed

Laura mary Denny

Tosin  Bamgbala

Absolutely amazing. Great teacher. Super patient, answering all our questions and equally educating us. Would definitely recommend and I plan to do more courses. Bonus of the day, knowing that after learning, I am able to purchase an item and create on to it also. Brilliant. 

Kirsty

I was lucky enough to be invited to go with my friend Natalie to the Epoxy Resin Flower Coaster making class. Richard was a great teacher, explained everything and was very knowledgeable. It was a great way to spend a morning, it was my first time at a class in this area and will certainly be back again 

Joana Dungca

It was our first time to do resin art and I had the best experience being guide guided by professionals like Richard and Dan. I wouldn't have done this as a DIY on my own. There was a lot to consider even in terms of working environment and room temperature. Excited to try more advanced classes later 😁

Rebecca  Anderson

The instructor, Richard was informative, friendly and generally put the class at ease. He explained what we were going to do as well as giving us a demo, which for a visual learner is great. He asked and answered questions and I throughly enjoyed my time there.

Ewurafua

Loved the experience, loved the learning process, very easy to follow and understand and implement! Overall great class and loved the result art pieces!

Punam

I thoroughly enjoyed the epoxy resin seascapes class,  which was very informative and fun. Each stage of the process was taught very carefully.I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn something new.

Ewurafua  Plange

Had a lovely day today learning how to do seascapes with Richard! We were a small group of 8 which was a perfect size and Richard was so friendly and knowledgeable teaching us step by step and giving us some great tips! Everyone’s seascapes look great (it’s hard to go wrong) and love that we will all have something to keep from the day too. Thanks Richard, I’ll definitely be coming again soon!

Wilson

It was my first time trying resin art so I really appreciated learning about the science behind the art. Richard and Dan were great instructors and made everything really newbie friendly. Excited to see what the final pieces look like!

The seascapes class was excellent. The teacher's are very patient, knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend the course.

Lazarus  Cardoza

Great course. Enjoyed the learning. Good tutor. Knows how to move the class forward to create the final product.

Can't wait for the the next class in resin table making.

Valerie  Holmes


Inspirational and fun, I loved learning about creating seascapes. Our Tutor Dan was knowledgeable and helpful, taking us through each step with clear instructions and plenty of individual support. Can't wait to try some more! Good to meet the other participants too, in a relaxed happy class. Thank you

Donna Noel

The seascapes workshop was great. The teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive.


Adam

How to seal the wood, pour the resin and how create a wavy seascape scene art piece. The teacher was friendly and a great teacher, very helpful. The venue was very warm but that's because on the day it was very hot outside, the teacher did what he could to reduce the heat, otherwise the venue was nice enough and had a decent amountcofcparking available. 

I'd certainly recommend the course

Course done: 10am, 9th Sept 2023

top treehouses

I loved the seascapes class, Richard is incredibly passionate about epoxy resin and woodwork, and is very knowledgeable, no matter how many questions you throw at him! Everyone in the class was able to produce beautiful coasters, serving boards and artwork under his guidance, and I feel much more confident with the medium now. I'd love to return and do one of his other workshops and will likely be gifting a few of the at home starter kits as Christmas presents too. Can't wait to receive my finished pieces :)

Josh Bryson

A great morning class for all levels, and one that encourages creative approaches to make unique seascapes! Some solid guidance from Richard showed how you can confidently work with epoxy resin on your own projects – most definitely worth trying out!

Manda Patel

Enjoyable class  I wish I had paid more attention I would have had a better end result

Amanda

Had a very enjoyable morning doing the seascape resin course ran by Richard. Not done anything like this before but would love to do it again, Richard explained every thing in simple easy to follow instructions and the end results were better than expected 👍 

Libby  Marchant

Really enjoyed the seascapes resin course and was so pleased with what I created under Richard's instruction.

Shilpa

Venue was good,  free parking on site.
Richard was a great teacher with a wealth of knowledge about Resin.
I loved the class, stayed longer to do another piece and would definitely be back to do more classes with Richard.

Belen

I learnt how to make four resin coasters decorated with a seaside landscape and I absolutely loved it. The teacher was very good and explained very well what needed to be done. After making the coasters there was a possibility to upgrade to decorate a bigger project (wooden tray, chopping board…) you had to pay for this separately tho. I would definitely come back to try a different class in the future.

Yuga 

Came for another session, this time in Seascapes. Dan was funny, a good teacher and happy with my coasters!

Anita

We both had a great time learning how to do seascapes.  Dan have a very good demonstration, with clear explanations. Between all of us we made twenty coasters - every one a unique piece. It was exciting to learn how one little change of quantity or technique can change the look of a piece. There was a great mix of people in the small group, and we're looking forward to doing another class next year!

Dave Howard

Was a really good experience and learned a lot. The teachers are good can pick there brains about everything 

Dave

Zoe  Shelton 

Class was excellent, arranged in very small groups so that the instructor was able to offer individual guidance and help where required. Will definitely be back

DAVID WALLACE

This course is great, you can make some really amazing pieces in no time at all. Can’t wait to practice this new skill more.

Perfect for beginners. Richard is patient and friendly and knowledgeable. So proud of the bench I built with my partner. All tools are provided and we have enough time and space to work on it in good time.

Ben Matthews

Was a brilliant day! Hands on with all the tools and guided by an experienced teacher. The bench we produced at the end was lovely and everyone I've shown it to has been impressed. Thanks to the team for an excellent class.

João Xavier  Lopes

I really appreciate the initiative with this workshop. I’m quitting smoking after 20 years, and today, since I stopped, was the first time I felt alive and happy again.

The workshop was amazing, with such great vibes and a wonderful opportunity to meet new people. I work in hospitality, putting in 50 hours a week in a very stressful environment. Being at the workshop made me feel so relaxed, helping me forget about work and life for a while and simply enjoy the moment.

It has motivated me to continue living my life in the best way possible. Thank you, Richard and Nikki, for making this experience happen!

Chantel Campbell

Such a great class, Richard really took the time to teach us not only the how, but the why behind the construction, which I really appreciated.


Greg Palmer

I feel lucky to have found Richard's class on making a table top. Richard was an excellent teacher who went into detail on each step of the process. We learnt about edge joining,  using a mitre saw,  using multiple sanders, oiling/finishing the wood, amongst other things. I learnt more than I expected and I hope to join another class in the future. Thanks!

Vinna Law

Richard was such very very knowledgable and enthusiastic about his craft. The way he conducted the class was very thorough, equipping you not only with the practical skills but also useful knowledge that will help with your woodworking endeavours. I felt very inspired by the class to do more woodworking and would definitely come back for more!

Tom Waters

I had a great time! It was useful - focused on some fundamentals. I appreciated that there was a bit of talking/theory rather than 100% hands on. Thanks!
