Epoxy Resin Art

Working with epoxy resin is both fun and challenging, with endless creative possibilities.

Epoxy resin (a viscous liquid) can’t transform into a solid without a hardener, which serves as the catalyst that cures (sets) the resin. There is a chemical reaction when the two are mixed, so if you are working with resin, you need PPE (apron, disposable gloves, and, if necessary, a respirator).

It’s important to work in a well-ventilated space with open windows and doors, and to work out of reach of children and pets. If you get resin on your clothes or in your hair, I’m afraid scissors are needed.

Curing can take a week or longer, depending on the project. The result is a crystal clear, high-gloss surface.

It’s a long process, but the resulting epoxy resin art has a distinctive eye-catching ‘pop’, with bold colours and a sleek finish that adds to any room.

The addition of resin colorants and inclusions creates fabulous effects. Experimentation is key when working with resin – in my opinion it’s part of the fun! Pour three colours of resin together, and the picture changes before your eyes…and it just keeps changing.

My epoxy resin art collection includes:

• Resin Paintings
• Resin Letters – Initials that can be made with a variety of inclusions
• Resin Shapes – Both large and small
• Resin Jewellery
• Resin Keepsakes and Mementoes
