An Introduction to Resin Pouring with EliChem’s Heidi Werschler
November 13, 2020
Description
When: November 13th @ 11am PST (duration: 1.5hr)
In this class you will learn to work with a fluid two part coating resin. We will review the characteristics of Eli-Chem resins as well as how to prepare your surface for resin application. Heidi will explain and demonstrate pouring, mixing and applying tints. She will also demonstrate how and when to use a heat gun, art torch and other guiding objects. To show you just how fascinating working with resin can be, Heidi will incorporate ResiBlast; a product which creates beautiful lacing and cells in your resin art. A perfect workshop for those wanting to experiment with resin for the first time and for practiced resin artists alike!
