Wanting to learn Resin?

I keep getting asked if I do workshops to teach people how to work with resin.

Unfortunately, I currently don't have the right space to carry out workshops at the moment.

But if you are looking for somewhere to create - please do your research.

Even if it is just for fun, you need to ensure the facilitator is following the below as a standard - which is what I would recommend.

* PPE for each individual - e.g ventilated face masks, gloves, aprons, safety glasses and barrier cream ( in case).

* Experienced facilitator - check their work to see if is something that you love as you would want to learn their techniques.

* The facilitator has insurance cover for workshops and YOUR safety.

* You are paying a reasonable fair price to learn from an expert.

* The workshop area is safe and well ventilated.

* They have COVID-19 health plan in place.

* Resin workshops I wouldn't recommend for children under 16 years old.

* Not suitable for pregnant women or if you have a serious health issue.

* The resin being used in the workshop has low VOC's and isn't from Bunnings!

Just a reminder - you are working with a chemical, there can be reactions to the resin, to your skin, eyes and mouth so you want to be cautious.

But you can have loads of fun creating with resin, but ensure your safety comes first.

Enjoy

I keep getting asked if I do workshops to teach people how to work with resin. Unfortunately, I currently don't have the right space to carry out workshops at the moment. But if you're keen to learn, I want to help you find the perfect place to start your resin journey safely and confidently.

If you're looking for somewhere to create, please do your research. Even if it's just for fun, you need to ensure the facilitator is following these standards—which is what I'd recommend to anyone picking a workshop.

What to Look For in a Resin Workshop

• Proper PPE for everyone — ventilated face masks, gloves, aprons, safety glasses, and barrier cream should be provided as standard.
• An experienced facilitator — check their work to see if it's something you love. You want to learn from someone whose techniques inspire you.
• Insurance cover — the facilitator should have workshop insurance and your safety should be covered.
• Fair pricing — you're paying a reasonable price to learn from an expert, not just filling a class.
• A safe, well-ventilated space — this is non-negotiable when working with chemicals.
• A COVID-19 health plan — it shows they take health seriously.
• Low-VOC resin — the resin being used should be quality material, not something from a hardware store.

Who Shouldn't Attend

Resin workshops aren't recommended for children under 16 years old, and they're not suitable for pregnant women or anyone with serious health conditions. Always check with your doctor if you have concerns.

Remember, you're working with chemicals, and reactions can happen—to your skin, eyes, and mouth. Be cautious, but don't let that stop you. You can have loads of fun creating with resin when you prioritise your safety first.

Enjoy the creative journey ahead!
