Charm School: Resin Charm-Making Workshop

Create personalized resin charms filled with tiny treasures and meaningful mementos. All supplies provided. Make 3-5 unique mini collage keepsakes in three hours.

Resin charms are little metal frames you can fill with tiny gems, bits of paper ephemera, beads… anything itty bitty! I’ll provide all the tools, supplies, and inspiration needed to make as many charms as you like during a three-hour event! Crafters can also bring meaningful little bits and bobs such as an earring that has lost its mate, a photo of a loved one, petals or tiny flowers, a snippet of a ticket stub, yarn from a beloved, or a stamp from a special letter. Students will graduate Charm School with 3-5 unique mini collage keepsakes!

  • “Lara is a wonderful instructor! She provides plenty of guidance, but also lets you do your own thing. We had so much fun!”
  • “Wonderful instructor; clear instructions on making the charms; she made the class fun.”

Lara Starr

I made my first resin charm at Maker Faire and was… charmed! I immediately wanted to make more, and was bummed when they told me, “One per person!” I took matters into my own hands and ordered the materials to make them myself. The more I made, the more I wanted to make! Since then, I have hosted events at a local co-working space and private homes, and now I bring Charm School to libraries, recreation centers, and community college extensions.

It’s been especially gratifying to help the crafters who arrive believing they are “not creative” go from cautious to confident.
