Intro to Resin: Create Your Own Custom Resin Block

with Tara Casey

Curious about those stunning resin blanks used in pen turning and woodworking?

Wondering how they're made but hesitant to invest in all the equipment? Join Tara Casey for this fun, hands-on class and pour your very own custom resin block to take home!

You'll learn the complete process for mixing and pouring vibrant, multi-color resin using premium materials. Choose up to TWO colors from our exclusive Maneater Casting Mica Powders (from Stadium Pen Blanks) to create dramatic effects like galaxies, swirls, or bold contrasts.
You will get to keep your mica colors from the class!

All classes use JB Royal Epoxy – a thick, low-odor, easy-to-mix casting resin favored by turners for clear, bubble-free results perfect for pen blanks and turning projects.

Everything is provided: resin, hardener, mica powders, mixing tools, molds, and safety gear. Just bring yourself (and wear an old shirt or apron in case of minor spills!).

Small-group format: Limited to 6 participants per session for personalized instruction.
Duration: 90 minutes – fun, informative, and you'll walk away with your finished poured block ready to cure and turn!
