She had abandoned her own specimen for a short period to watch the students complete the task themselves, she paused and stood idly every so often, tilting her head from the left to the right and ensuring they didn't put the scalpel to anything other than the resin. Such a wonderful and motivated group this one was...

But alas, they appeared ready to continue!

"Wonderful work, this will increase the surface area of the resin and will give us access to resin that that hasn't been exposed to as much oxygen and therefore it won't be as difficult to work with." Seren moved back into position behind her own workstation and this time withdrew her wand.

"Now what we want to do, is heat up the resin enough to get it flowing more freely, and this is achieved with the hot-air charm.... ventus," she supplied, demonstrating the wand movement separately with a complicated little wave. Well... not so complicated... "If you're not familiar with the charm give practice it first, a little wave, and ventus," she replied, conducting the charm, hot air flowed from the tip of her wand, appearing to shake the air in front of her.

"Once you've got that, apply that heat to the resin, and where it was cut, it should start oozing away more easily and into your jar."

OOC: Hot air charm and oooozzziiinggg commence! The workshop will continue in approx 20 hours.
