Working with Resin
Class Description
As the industry continually seeks materials that meet market demands, resins have emerged as a significant source of possibilities, attracting the attention of artists as well.
In this workshop, we will delve into the world of resins, exploring the primary groups of resins and their distinct characteristics. Participants will learn about the tools and utensils utilized in working with resins, the step-by-step processes from inception to final finishes, and the essential safety measures associated with handling these materials.
Throughout the course, we will draw inspiration from renowned artists such as David Bestué, Dan Lam, Tim Silver, John Chamberlain, and Folkert de Jong. Their innovative approaches and mastery of resin-based art will serve as inspiration and guidance as we explore the vast potential of this versatile material.
