Step-by-step process you’ll go through (1–6)
Each step builds on the last, with live coaching from a friendly instructor.
Prep and mold setup
Set up the workspace and clean molds. Gather pigments and ready the materials. A tidy start prevents messy overpouring.
Mixing resin
Measure resin and hardener precisely then mix thoroughly. Follow safety steps to minimize bubbles and ensure proper curing.
Add color and embellishments
Add pigments, glitter, shells or chips for texture. The right amount creates depth without crowding the surface.
Pouring and layering
Pour with care to control flow. Experiment with marbling or crystal effects by layering colors slowly.
Curing and post-work
Demold after the initial cure and perform light finishing if needed. Allow full cure before heavy handling.
Take-home and care
Learn curing tips and how to store finished pieces. Proper care extends gloss and durability.
Optional on site curing demos or extra finishing touches may appear in some sessions.
Customization options you can expect
You can tailor colors, patterns and themes. Expect choices like pastel, bold or metallic accents plus patterns such as marbled swirls or beach textures. For groups, corporate color schemes or initials and logos are usually available.

What to expect on the day: format, guidance and venue

Venues vary between studio based sessions and on site corporate events. Facilitators are trained professionals focused on safety and learning, sometimes MOE certified in relevant programs.

Resin Coaster Workshop vs. at-home DIY kits: a quick comparison
In-person workshops win on safety and guidance. You gain professional resins, curated palettes, and real-time coaching. At-home kits offer flexibility but demand more self-management and space for curing.
-
In-person benefits: guidance, safety oversight, social experience, better results.
-
DIY kit trade offs: convenience and cost savings but more trial and error.
For first-timers, instructor-led sessions provide a smoother path to quality results.
