Just went to the Resin Flower Jewlery Workshop with Sonja. It was really fun: great girls night or date or go on your own. I went on my own. Sonja explained the process simply in the way only an expert could. I needed advice on my pendant, and she helped me add a pop of green.
Sonja was very informative, friendly, and encouraging. She managed people working on different steps or different speeds well. I never felt rushed during the process. Some people were back at class for a second time, and there were a lot of new people. There were eight people in this class.
You got to make two necklaces, two pairs of earrings, or one of each. I made one of each. She had gold and silver colors. I only looked at silver, but she had teardrop earrings and pendants and circle earrings and pendants, some small and some large. For the decoration, she had a lot of different flowers, leaves, gems, and glitter, what looked like stickers but were probably not, and other items.
She let us take pictures of the products she used in the workshop (ex. the brand of resin she used).
It's a lovely shop with a lot of lovely products to buy but also no pressure to buy. I did end up buying some coin dishes for my desk though and a book. You can bring food, and I did.
Autumn and Ro is located between Florida Wax House and Glass Orlando, and there is free parking in the back. They're right across from Santiago's Bodega.
10/10 would recommend. They also do a bunch of other classes as well.

I always find some treasure to take home or a “perfect gift!” Sonja is so creative and helpful. She knows how to coordinate and enhance decorative items, accessories, art pieces, etc. Her creative touch to jewelry makes her designs elegant yet within my price range. And she always has clever items that you would never think of. I like to bring out of town guess to see the store because it’s always a fun shopping trip. Parking is in the back, so...
Read moreOwner Sophia (Sofia?) was friendly. She immediately greeted me and enthusiastically answered all my questions on some of the merchandise. To name a few, the store has clothing, candles, soaps, jewelry, paintings, and pottery. Many of the items are handcrafted or painted by different artists. I could tell she cared about the artists because she talked a bit about them and their work. There was some paintings of motions of water on canvas and necklace pendants. The store newly opened just about 4 months ago, so I am glad I walked by this store...
