Crafternoon for a Cause - Jelly Art
Saturday 1st April 2023, 1pm to 4pm
Learn to make floral art inside a bowl of crystal carrageenan and agar agar jelly.
All the tools, colours, equipment, and bowl of jelly which will be your canvas, are included.
The teacher Melissa Dor from Rotary Elizabeth Quay will be showing you each step and there will be a helper wandering the floor to assist if you get stuck. Each participant gets 2 pre-made bowls of clear carrageenan jelly as their canvases and can choose 4 colours to create the flower art inside the bowl.
The finished jelly art is a colourful flower trapped inside a crystal dome. You will take home your jellies, 2 glass bowls to carry them in, and 1 set of jelly art tools, so you can keep this hobby going.
