Trenton ReynoldsHey everyone, this is Trent. I mentioned in the last episode that just came out a day or two ago that I was going to open up registration for my resin techniques class. And then it ended up taking me longer to get that posted. It is currently open, but the window for registration is very short. So I wanted to post a quick announcement here in the room in the trees feed to let you know that registration is open now and will be until Sunday night because the class starts this coming Monday. So it is a five-week course. Every week there will be a new instructional video. We'll meet on Monday to discuss the video, discuss your ideas, discuss how to overcome problems that you're facing. And then on Friday, we have a Zoom meeting. meeting for critique. It's a format that's been working really well. And I've really been enjoying my interactions with students. And I've really been enjoying those of you that have participated or joined the class coming from Room in the Trees. So I would love it if there's any of you out there that are interested in incorporating resin into your artwork, it's a magical material. It really is. We're going to take the full five weeks to really dig deep, dive deep. Dig, dive? Dive and dig? We're going to go deep into the subject of epoxy resin. It's not as inaccessible as it might seem. It's a fantastic medium. I'm really excited to share. I've been using it for the past three plus years. and just keep on getting, keep on being surprised by what is possible. So if you're interested in resin, my class starts this Monday, registration ends on Sunday. Come join me, I would love to have you participate. These classes have been really tight knit, wonderful groups. And I think you will really enjoy it. And I look forward to working with you.

And I hope you take a look.
