Pour Epoxy Resin Art That Looks Bought, Not Made

From mix ratio to mirror-clear finish — the chemistry, color, and craft behind sellable coasters, trays, and panels.

Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

A hands-on beginner course in epoxy resin art built around real product chemistry, accurate mix ratios, and reliable troubleshooting. You will master measuring, coloring, cell techniques, object embedding, and demolding, then finish and seal pieces that look professional. Every technique is tied to specific tools, temperatures, and timing so your results are repeatable rather than lucky.

Learning Outcomes

What the learner should be able to understand, build, or execute.

01

Select the correct epoxy resin type and measure precise 1:1 or 2:1 ratios by weight and volume

02

Set up a dust-controlled, ventilated, temperature-stable workspace with the right PPE

03

Mix and disperse mica, alcohol ink, and pigment paste without clouding or under-coloring

04

Create controlled cells, lacing, and color movement using torch, heat gun, and additive techniques

05

Embed flowers, photos, and objects without bubbles, lifting, or color bleed

06

Demold, sand, finish, and seal coasters, trays, and panels to a glass-clear, food-safe-rated result
