Resin Homewares Workshop
Handcraft your own resin platters, trinket dishes and votive holders in the inspiring Resin Homewares Class. You’ll make three truly stunning resin decor pieces to display around your home.
You’ll work with a slow-curing resin to create two marbled pieces and for the third piece, you’ll use a quick-curing resin that will cure during class. This will allow you to take one piece home with you straight after class while the other two pieces can be collected from the next day onwards.
You’ll be inspired by the pieces you make in this class to create even more at home.

Reviews
This is a truly inspiring class but don’t just take our word for it… this is what students say!
Awesome Class!
“We had a really enjoyable day learning how to make resin trays with Mylene. She was a wonderful teacher and we would highly recommend her class. We are already thinking which class we would like to do next!”
Loved the Resin Class!
“I absolutely LOVED the resin class! Mylene is so warm, personable and very knowledgeable about all things resin. I left the class feeling inspired and eager to try some castings on my own.”
I Learned So Much!
“What a fantastic workshop!! I can’t wait to do other ones.
I learned soooo much. It was more than worth the cost.
Mylaine was so friendly, patient and generous. I came away with
so many ideas. I loved that while Mylaine teaches you she also encourages you
to come up with your own ideas and express your own creativity.
I sent my daughter pictures of all the things that I made and she
said it looks like a treasure trove.”
