FAQs
You will learn how to mix pigments, create marbled and metallic effects, design color palettes, and apply professional finishes to epoxy resin pieces for creative and decorative projects.
The course is aimed at people with basic design or craft knowledge; it’s intermediate level and having prior creative experience is recommended, though essential fundamentals are covered.
You’ll need epoxy resin, liquid, metallic, and paste pigments, gloves, a mask, containers, silicone molds, spatulas, sandpaper, and resin-specific cleaning products.
You should wear gloves and a mask, ensure good ventilation in your workspace, and avoid direct skin contact. It’s also important to store resin safely and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The marbled effect is achieved by carefully mixing different pigments and manipulating the resin to create veins and color contrasts before curing.
You can use liquid, metallic, and paste pigments. Liquids give translucent finishes, metallics add shine and sparkle, and pastes provide opaque or matte colors.
Primary and secondary pigments are selected and mixed, proportions recorded to replicate shades, and color combinations analyzed to achieve harmony or visual contrast in pieces.
