Description

Thank-you for your interest in this Beach resin art for beginners course!

This class is perfect for anyone who has wanted to start creating beach pieces with resin but are too intimidated to do the whole process on their own.

Every part of this class is broken down into small bits of information as well as tips and tricks that I've learned while working on my own pieces.

I have taught many, many classes for the past 15 years at local scrapbook stores but this is the first time teaching how to work with and use resin. I'm very excited to share what I know and learn how to teach in this new format!

The second video in this course covers all the supplies that will be used. Below that video there link to a downloadable PDF of the Supply List. The PDF has each item linked with where you can purchase these supplies online saving you a lot of time trying to source everything yourself.

In this Course we will be covering:

Supplies needed.
Wood panel preparation.
How to figure out how much resin to mix and how to mix it.
Creating each layer (separate videos for each layer)
How to remove the resin drips from the back of your piece and add the hanger
The easiest way I've found to clean the resin bits off of the silicone mixing cups.

***Disclaimer***

As with ALL art, results may vary! I have made many different Beach resin pieces and not one is exactly the same as another. Even the temperature of the room can affect the way resin responds. Please read and familiarize yourself with the product information guidelines that come with your resin. Also, read and familiarize yourself with the safety guidelines for your resin. These can also be found on the manufacturers website and can answer any questions or concerns you may have about the product.
