Autumn Glow: Resin & Wood Pumpkin Tray Workshop at Dwellings on the Blvd

Craft Your Own Fall Centerpiece in This Hands-On Resin Workshop

Dwellings on the Boulevard hosts a resin pumpkin tray workshop on Friday, October 9th at 11:00 AM, offering a hands-on introduction to resin crafting with a seasonal twist. This 90-minute session walks participants through creating a custom wood pumpkin tray using epoxy resin techniques, perfect for those curious about resin art or looking to add a handmade piece to their fall decor. The mid-morning timing works well for anyone wanting to squeeze in a creative project before lunch.

What to Expect:
The autumn glow workshop brings together wood and resin in a beginner-friendly format where everyone leaves with a finished pumpkin tray. Expect step-by-step guidance through mixing resin, selecting colors, and pouring techniques that create those signature swirls and patterns. The small-group setting at Dwellings on the Boulevard means plenty of individual attention while working through a craft that looks more complicated than it actually is.

Insider Tips:
- Wear clothes that can handle resin drips—old jeans and a t-shirt work better than anything new
- The resin needs time to cure, so plan for picking up the finished piece later or ask about curing times before the workshop ends
- Bring inspiration photos if there's a specific color scheme in mind, though the workshop provides color options
- Hair ties help keep long hair back when leaning over resin work
- Ask about the resin brand being used—knowing what materials work well helps for future DIY projects at home
- The workshop welcomes all ages, making it a solid option for a parent-child activity during fall break
