I will teach how to create a work of art with resin, how to mix resin, what you can use to tint your resin, and safety precautions. We’ll learn doming, casting, coating and so much more. Tips and tricks throughout the class and bonus tips about the most common problems when working with resin. I will go over techniques and applications for resin. Even if you've never used resin, alcohol inks or acrylic paints before, everything you need to know is covered in the class. It's fun, easy, relaxing and rewarding. I will demonstrate two trays. One painted acrylic tray and we will top resin coat it and then using alcohol inks and mica powders with resin and demonstrate a blank tray. I am sure there will be time to demonstrate casting coasters and show examples of other completed works to provide inspiration so that viewers can embrace their own creativity. As a visually impaired artist I am used to giving detailed step by step instructions and encourage others to embrace their creativity and that is everything is possible!
