Resin Jewerly Classes
Come learn about resin in my studio in Seattle or take an online class.
See below for a detailed description of the resin classes I teach. Due to the expiratory nature of the resin, I no longer offer these classes on my calendar, however, if you want to sign up email me at classes@samanthaslaterstudio.om and we can arrange a time.
Getting Real With Resin - Intro Class
Learn how to work with a two part, non-toxic, epoxy resin to create miniature art works in your jewelry. Pour the resin into a bezel or silicone mold for endless possibilities. I teach this class in three ways: a 3 hour overview where you learn all the basics and get to make a couple of pieces in pre-made bezels and molds. A 5 hour workshop where you have much more time to work with the medium and delve into more complex designs. Or as three 3 hour sessions where I teach mold and bezel making, layering, filing, texturing as well as pigmentation, filing and drilling. Either way, you get excellent fundamentals in resin work and great tips and tricks to succeed with your own creations!
