Resin Workshop
04 artist-led workshop
Celine Kirkland is back for another workshop with us on resin art! Resin art is created when a runny chemical called epoxy resin is combined with various colour pigments and additives to produce a blend of unique patterns and textures. The end result is a durable and clear plastic that takes the shape or image that you have created. Celine has been painting since 2014 and is known for her healing and enlightening resin art.
