We cover temperature control, curing times, and how to avoid common issues like cloudiness or incomplete sets. Across our classes, you'll discover how different resin types affect clarity and durability. You'll also learn why mold quality matters so much for achieving clean, casino-grade edges on your dice.
From there, we move into the artistic side—exploring color theory, layering techniques, and how to incorporate glitter, ink, and crushed stone for truly one-of-a-kind results. Whether you want dice that match your character's aesthetic or a set that stands out at the table, our class gives you the confidence and skills to make it happen.
You'll practice demolding, trimming overflow, sanding edges, and applying a glossy finish that makes your dice look professionally made.

No prior crafting experience is required—our classes are designed for beginners and experienced crafters alike. Each session is kept small to ensure personal attention, so every student gets hands-on support throughout the process. We also offer multi-session classes for those who want to build on their skills further.
This workshop covers all the essential materials you'll work with during the session. You'll handle different resin types, silicone molds, pigments, metallic flakes, and finishing compounds. Our instructors explain why each material matters and how quality affects your final results. Understanding these components helps you make better choices for future projects at home.
Our sessions emphasize safety protocols for working with resin. Proper ventilation, protective gear, and careful handling keep the experience enjoyable and risk-free. We walk you through each safety step so you feel confident working independently after the class ends. Your well-being is our priority from the first pour to the final polish.
