Class Overview

In this class, we will look at how I went about creating this commissioned side table.

My client requested a side table, using the same Kmart legs that I used on my previous two Freeform Resin Tables, only this time, they wanted a round top for their table.

The brief was for the use of three colours only, and they wanted it to look like waves out in the deep ocean.

The first step is to create a simple design using two contrasting colours, then make the waves using a combination of mineral turpentine and heat.

Note, the trick to good cells and lacing is in the timing of the heat application.
