What is resin inlay, anyway!?! This 1 day class will cover the entire process of adding resin inlay to a metal design for the express purpose of adding color.

Students will first experiment adding resin inlay to a very simple metal piece in order to understand how to color, "inlay", cure and "finish" resin. Students will then fabricate a metal piece that they design into which they'll then add resin using the process learned with the first project.

This is a great way to add absolutely any color you can think of to a piece without the need for a kiln or torch.

Basic soldering skills are required
