Carmi Cimicata Resin - For Lasting Memory Projects

Resin has become a staple in the toolbox of many crafters. Primarily used by jewelry makers, it has become a medium that many crafters wish to incorporate into their projects. Filling bezels with tiny photos and imagery and then encasing them in resin will create unique and special embellishments for cards and scrapbook pages. “I have loved resin from the moment I first saw its glassy surface in a bottle cap.” As the author and designer of Resin Crafts blog Carmi is known for her resin work and on-line techniques presentations. This is a techniques class. Resin takes 24-48 hours to cure, so the samples we will work on in this class will not be dry when the class is done. We will have a place to leave them to cure overnight. My goal is to make sure you know how to work with resin so that you can continue to work with this medium when you get home.
