Epoxy Seascapes: Three-Hour Resin Workshop in Madrid

Curso de Marinas con Resina y Epoxi brings the drama of the sea to the heart of Madrid. Located in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain, this three-hour hands-on workshop teaches students how to compose glossy, ocean-inspired resin seascapes using epoxy, pigments, and layering techniques. The class starts with safety and material prep: measuring resin ratios, working with pigments and additives, and controlling curing times. Students learn to build translucent layers that mimic water depth, create white wave crests with resin gel techniques, and embed sand or shell fragments for tactile shorelines. The studio atmosphere is practical and lively; groups remain small (maximum ten people) so instructors can tailor demonstrations to individual skill levels. No previous experience is required, and the curriculum scales from beginner projects to advanced specialization modules for returning students. What makes this workshop unique in Madrid is how it translates maritime textures into a metropolitan studio practice. The instructor-led process focuses on surface chemistry as much as composition—mixing, heat control to remove bubbles, and finishing for a high-gloss, gallery-ready surface. Tools and materials are professional grade and chosen for safety; the course covers ventilation, nitrile gloves, and proper disposal of mixing waste so creative work doesn’t come at the expense of studio health. This offering complements outdoor exploration of the city: bring an afternoon sketching by the river or a nearby park, then translate sunlight, color, and horizon lines into layered epoxy back in the studio. Because the result cures over time, students leave with a finished topcoat or a piece set to fully harden at home, along with notes on post-cure sanding and polishing. The class can be taken privately for one-on-one guidance, in small group sessions for collaborative energy, or as part of a specialization track for experienced makers. Practical details: the workshop runs approximately three hours, supports Spanish-language instruction, and caps at ten participants for hands-on access to materials and equipment. Cancellation policy permits rescheduling more than 72 hours in advance or a 50% refund. The experience is ideal for makers who enjoy tactile processes, mixed-media projects, and turning coastal ideas into objects that hold light and depth. Participants receive focused guidance on photographing and presenting finished pieces, plus practical tips for sourcing sustainable pigments and responsibly collected beach materials. Instructors emphasize low-waste practices, recommend local suppliers, and explain ventilation and disposal best practices so artists leave prepared to continue resin work safely at home, with clear follow-up resources, material lists, and online support.
