Join us for an immersive two-day workshop where you'll craft your own stunning river table, blending the natural beauty of wood with the flowing elegance of epoxy resin. This hands-on experience combines traditional woodworking with modern design, culminating in a unique piece of functional art that you'll be proud to display in your home.

On Day 1, you'll dive into the fundamentals of epoxy river table creation.
