SUMMARY:05/04 Cool BUDS (18+) Ambers Making Waves
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, May 4th at 3 pm.  We will create hearts on an 8×8-inch canvas\, using resin as the glue to keep your masterpiece in place.  Amber with Ambers Making Waves will guide you through the entire process and will provide everything except your creativity! \n\n\n\nPlease Note: \n\n\n\nResin will not come out of clothing\, so please do not wear your favorite outfit.  An apron will be provided. Your piece will need to sit flat for 24 hours to cure after the class\, and is best when kept as level as possible.  A tray will be provided for you to transport your piece home\, but you may also wish to have an appropriately sized box or tote in the car to get it home safely. \n\n\n\nIf you want to personalize your artwork\, you are welcome to bring seashells(small to medium in size)\, charms\, or other fun trinkets. Although the resin used is non-toxic\, it does have a mild odor\, if you are sensitive you may consider bringing a mask with you. \n\n\n\nLocation: Lakewood Ranch Library Community Room B. \n\n\n\nThis event is open to 1 Cool BUD plus 1 adult assistant. Please RSVP for yourself and your BUD. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible by a generous grant from Neal Communities.
