This is harder than casting resin (Bauhaus Set) | The Eco-Resin Lab

Explore the intersection of geometry and colour as we cast Bauhaus-inspired decor using eco-resin. Can we achieve crisp, professional lines, or will the pigments create their own "organic" mayhem?

In this session, we’re pushing casting with casting powder + water to its limits using sharp, hexagonal moulds. From weighing precise ratios (4:3) to troubleshooting unexpected colour bleeds, follow along as I attempt to layer bold primaries against a silky white base. It’s a journey of trial, error, and stunning geometric results that prove even "happy accidents" can look like high-end design.

I learnt a ton, and I am sure my next eco-resin project will be a LOT better! I'm already bubbling with ideas. Hope this is a fun watch for you. Happy crafting and have a wonderful day!

Safety Warning
While eco-resin is often more user-friendly than traditional epoxy, safety is always our top priority. Always work in a well-ventilated space to avoid inhaling fine particles during the mixing or dry-sanding phases. I highly recommend wearing a dust mask (especially when sanding), gloves to protect your skin from pigments, and eye protection. Ensure your workspace is covered to manage spills, and always keep your crafting materials out of reach of children and pets.
