“I never tire of the hands-on process of working with materials, experimenting, and seeing all the unexpected results it can create.”

Surface and product designer Olivia Aspinall uses that process to make hand-cast surfaces and objects, with a particular focus on bespoke terrazzo. Via her self-named studio, she has produced products that are both practical and decorative for companies like Google, Pinterest, and Cancer Research.

In this online course, Olivia teaches you how to make your own furniture using terrazzo techniques and eco-resin. Learn to cast a unique side table from scratch that brings color and pattern to any space. Chip and cast your way to your very own terrazzo collection!
