Epoxy Homeware Fractal Board (Serving Platter) and Epoxy Coasters
R1 000 ± 3hrs (16 years and older)
This is one of my new favorite trends. Lichtenberg or “Fractal” burning. This is a relatively new niche embellishing technique of pyrography that utilizes a high-voltage electrical source (minimum of 2 000 volts) with a pre-mixed conductive solution to burn branched like designs into the surface of the wood. The branches resemble lightning flashes or snowflakes in some cases.Wood burning can add a unique element to your wooden creations. The Lichtenberg figures are sure to make your piece stand out. Whether the figures are the main attraction of the piece or just an accent, it’s totally up to you.

You will learn everything that I know, but this is by far not a defined science. Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, feel free to safely experiment with different types of woods.
Why not come and try Fractal burning? This workshop is a treat for the homeware lovers! Please join us at CandiArt Studios and create your very own Fractal Board (Serving Platter) with an introduction to the use of epoxy on wood. You will be able to chose from a huge range of beautiful colours and pigments. We guide you through every step of the process to give you all the tips and tricks to create your own unique board.
In this workshop you will be provided with one pre-fractal burned board to create your very own epoxy serving platter at our Studio as well as 2 wooden coasters (10cm). You will learn the techniques involved to master your creative flair. A live demonstration of fractal burning on wood will also be provided. Should you wish to participate and burn a board, this can be pre-arranged when making your booking. An additional charge will be levied for the Board.

Choose your colours and design
Due to the curing time of Epoxy, as well as the weather conditions, your fractal board can take up to a day or two to dry. You may transport your board home with you on the day or you are more than welcome to leave your artwork in a flat level position at our studio and arrange to collect your artwork at a later date. Your coasters, however will have to be left at our studio in a level position to dry. Once the coasters have cured CandiArt will add a personalised protective cork baking to your coasters.
Care Instructions for your Platter and Coasters: The two-part epoxy system that is used on your Fractal Board is not heat resistant. Your Coasters, however use a different two-part epoxy system and are heat resistant up to 70˚C and are NOT food safe.
Care Instructions : Your board and coasters will NOT be dishwasher safe. Wipe clean with a damp cloth on the Epoxy surface. Do NOT place items directly from the oven or microwave onto the board or coasters, as the epoxy will potentially soften and or liquify.
This is a messy art form that you will love! Please make sure you wear clothes that you are happy to get a dash/splash of epoxy on.
This workshop can be customised to suit your needs!
