Resin Workshop

In March Brenda facilitated a couple of resin workshops.

Here's the evidence:

First she found a bug....to preserve for posterity.

2 component resin, acrylic colours - opaque and solid
2 drops hardener to 2.5ml resin
only a miniscule amount of colour required or the resin won't set properlystudents prepared bezels, shapes to hold the resin
colour mixing
layering the resinshapes held down on acetate to prevent flow of resin under the bezel
such a great setting for classes
labour of love
shapes filled with clear or coloured resin
pieces parked in the cupboard to dry dust free - at least 24hrsdrying cupboard
a success story - one of manytop - coloured resin, pieces of silver, clear resin overlayunderside
opaque resin and gold leaf
