Frequently Asked Questions

Workshops include trays, coasters, jewelry, and decorative pieces with customizable colors, finishes, and embellishments. All materials and step-by-step instruction are provided so beginners can complete a finished piece during the session. Each project goes home the same day after the resin cures enough to transport safely.

Events work either way—at the Galesburg studio by appointment or at your chosen location including homes, businesses, or community spaces. Romey travels throughout the Greater Kalamazoo region with all supplies and instruction. Hosting at your location eliminates travel for guests and allows familiar, comfortable surroundings for celebrations.

Beach glass projects feature natural glass pieces arranged into suncatchers, frames, or decorative accents that catch light. Mosaic art uses cut glass tiles or mixed materials assembled into patterns on surfaces like trays or wall hangings. Both produce one-of-a-kind pieces but differ in material texture, assembly technique, and finished appearance.

Participants choose colors, finishes, and design elements to customize painted wood decor, laser-cut projects, and seasonal signs. Guided instruction covers painting techniques, stenciling, and finishing so each sign reflects personal style. Projects make thoughtful gifts or home accents because customization happens during the workshop, not from pre-made templates.

Workshops include crochet, macrame, textile art, and other fiber-based projects that accommodate beginners through experienced crafters. Projects change seasonally with new creative offerings like handmade gifts, home decor, and personal keepsakes. The supportive group atmosphere encourages learning techniques without prior experience required.

Ticketed public workshops increase customer traffic during slower hours and create community engagement beyond typical service offerings. Venues benefit from repeat visitors who attend seasonal events and themed workshops while participants enjoy creative activities in social settings. Partnership events include project selection, all supplies, and instruction without venue staff needing craft expertise.

Hands-on creative activities encourage collaboration differently than office tasks—teams problem-solve together, share techniques, and produce tangible results in a relaxed environment. Workshops customize to business goals and group sizes, with all materials provided so planning stays stress-free. Employees leave with finished projects and shared experiences that break usual workplace patterns.

Booking ahead secures your preferred date and allows time to select projects that match group interests and skill levels. Popular dates for birthdays, bridal showers, and celebrations fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. Early booking also enables custom project planning if your group wants something beyond standard workshop offerings.

Instruction covers resin mixing ratios, pouring techniques, removing bubbles, and adding colors or embellishments before the material sets. Beginners complete functional projects like coasters or trays by following demonstrated steps without prior experience. Finished pieces need additional curing time at home but are stable enough to transport after the workshop ends.

Both options exist—private workshops for your selected group at the studio or chosen location, plus ticketed public events through venue partnerships at bars, breweries, wineries, and coffee shops. Public workshops let individuals join scheduled events without organizing a full group. Check upcoming events or book a private session depending on your preference.

Beach glass and decorative frame projects accommodate different skill levels within the same workshop since assembly techniques adjust to each participant's ability. Younger family members arrange simpler patterns while experienced crafters create intricate designs, all producing finished suncatchers that catch light beautifully. Everyone works on similar projects without needing separate instruction groups.

Project selections rotate to match holidays, weather, and seasonal decor trends—spring suncatchers, summer resin pieces, fall wood signs, and winter fiber crafts appear as options shift. New creative ideas launch regularly based on an entrepreneurial approach to workshop development. Seasonal variety means repeat participants experience different projects rather than the same offerings year-round.

Design Events with Romey accommodates small teams as well as larger corporate groups, bringing all materials and setup directly to your location or a chosen venue. Booking starts with a quick inquiry to confirm your date, group size, and preferred project style, and reserving at least three to four weeks out is recommended for corporate events to allow time for customization.
