Resin SIG great start

I think some photos of various ways members have incorporated resins into their work would be very attention-grabbing. For example, one of @lordrook’s spheres, one or two of the pendants made in his classes, a turned resin handle, one of @Kriskat30’s resin pour artworks, one of Max’s silicone mold castings, etc.

The highlights are that we had about 23 people showed up which was awesome, we will be spending our seed money on dyes and pigments, some molds are going to be donated by members, for now we will remain under creative arts and when the Plastics committee is formed we will discuss moving to under them, we will be developing some basic safety training to use the pressure pot and vacuum chamber (both of which are confirmed to work), and @Edenblue and I will be meeting to discuss SIG rules before the next meeting.

Please add me to @SIG_Resin

Can you specify in your class descriptions, the types of resins used? I assume different resins and uses for different practical applications.

And THANK YOU for stepping forward to teach more resin/mold classes!
