Resin day: pour, tilt, wait

1 min read 3 photos

Resin is the one class where the gloves come out first.

The colours are mixed in cups, then poured onto the plate and moved around by tilting it and nudging with a stick. In the first photo the yellow is going on, with the blue still waiting at the edge.

The gold and blue plate got a line of crushed glitter and stones laid right across the middle, where the two colours meet.

The black and green one is my favourite of the lot. Where the colours touch, they break into little cells, like lace. You can't plan exactly where that happens, which is half the fun.

Then everyone has to leave it alone while it sets. That is the hardest part.
