Maker's bio

Richard has been teaching this intro class since 2018 after realising that all the challenges of working with epoxy resin were bound to be frustrating aspiring makers around the world as much as they were for him. After realising that working with epoxy resin was actually quite easy once you knew a few simple tricks and the basic principles, he started inviting you to join him in the workshop to master the tricks of the trade for yourself.

Julia Burden reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"I took part in the Beginner’s Resin workshop last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was so much to learn about resin projects as it is not easy to get good results without knowing how to properly prepare. Richard explained it in such an engaging and clear way that you take in a lot of information in those few hours while feeling as though the class is over too soon. I will definitely be booking a follow up workshop and bringing more friends and family. "

Safety concerns were paramount…"
