This course is another course created by the amazing Resin Artist Deby Coles. Find out more about Deby and her instructional techniques.
In this course Deby takes you through building your first resin geode together step-by-step, covering the basics of how to get started, how to plan out your design and colours, how to add bling with glass, crystals and gems, and how to get neat resin bands that don't bleed together.
This is a course for resin beginners looking to create amazing geode-inspired resin artworks.
Maybe you've dabbled with resin before, perhaps just some simple clear coating on coasters or artwork. Now you've discovered how amazing it can be and seen some of the geodes made from resin and want to make them too. But resin and geode materials can be expensive. You could dive right in, spend a lot of time and money and end up with a piece that just didn't work out - and all those materials are wasted. Taking this class will help you avoid those mistakes and leap up the learning curve so that your first piece will be amazing.
In the class, Deby covers a wide range of topics concentrating very much on the basics for creating resin geodes. It assumes previous basic knowledge of resin working but you will still cover safety and supplies needed for working with resin. You'll learn how to pick the best surface, what materials you can use and where to get them, how to keep your resin layers from bleeding and moving too much, and how to tease them into the shapes you want for your resin geode.
Once you have the basics and your first resin geode completed, your creativity can kick in without fear of failure and you'll be able to take it so much further, create amazing designs you will love.
