FOR RESIN ARTISTS

The resin community has been nothing short of amazing since we launched in 2020. With the rising popularity of resin crafting the internet is a treasure trove of tips and tricks.
That being said, there is no information better than that straight from another artist's mouth. The art of crafting resin differs so much country to country with climate differences and supply availability.
As we continue our journey, the goal is to put together more informational content (including process videos) for this page.
In the meantime, we've listed the materials that we've grown to rely on throughout or resin career.
