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.

Katie Koehler reviewed: Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass: Seascapes

"The seascape resin workshop was fantastic. Just a small group of us and Richard explained things well and was happy to answer all our myriad questions very patiently! He explained things well and kept checking to ensure we had understood before moving on to the next thing. He was encouraging of our efforts and on hand if we needed any assistance. I can thoroughly recommend this course and am very happy with the items I made."

"Thank you for a great course! My daughter and I had a fantastic time and are really excited to receive our work. It was obvious that a huge amount of thought and prep had gone into the workshop and that great care had been taken to ensure everyone had a good experience. Highly recommended"

dee reviewed: Epoxy Resin Flower Masterclass

"This course was great! So much fun and incredibly well organised. Richard created a lovely, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and was impressively knowledgeable but also able to make it simple for a beginner. The huge selection of dried flowers for us to work with meant people were really able to get creative and I loved seeing the different approaches people took. I'm really excited to receive my finished piece."
