Spend 90 minutes in an upstairs Paia studio learning to mix, color, and pour non-toxic epoxy to make a custom ocean-themed cheese board. All materials and PPE are provided; finished pieces cure for 24 hours and are ready for pickup the next day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step up a narrow stair into an airy studio above Paia’s small-main street, where trade winds push a faint ocean scent through an open window and a row of worktables waits under bright lamps. The instructor lays out measured resin, pigments, and a heat gun; the room hums with quiet focus and the soft scrape of sticks mixing liquid color. By the end of the session you’ll have poured an ocean-tongued cheese board and a practice mini-board — pieces that catch light the way Ho'okipa’s waves do.

History
Paia evolved from a 19th-century sugar plantation hub into a compact artists’ enclave; its working-town roots still shape local craft and food culture.
Conservation
The host emphasizes low-VOC resin and proper disposal; guests are asked to avoid rinsing materials down drains and to support local marine protections.
Reserve your spot on the Epoxy Resin Cheese Board Art Class today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive 10 minutes early
Check in before class start to settle in and choose your color palette; the studio opens for setup only a short window before the session.
Wear color-friendly clothing
Epoxy can splatter during mixing and pouring; wear clothes you don’t mind staining or bring an extra layer.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers
Even with low-VOC resin and ventilation, the host advises pregnant guests to skip this workshop for safety.
Plan for 24-hour curing
Your finished board won’t be ready to take home until it cures for about 24 hours—arrange pickup or a local pickup plan.
Clothing you don’t mind staining
Wear old clothes or bring a cover-up—resin and pigments can splatter during pours.
Closed-toe shoes
Studio supplies and small tools are on the floor; closed-toe shoes protect your feet from spills or dropped items.
Small mementos (shells, driftwood)
You can embed small, dry souvenirs in the resin for a personal touch—avoid wet or organic materials.

Allergies/health mask
If you’re chemically sensitive, bring a mask; the host uses low-VOC resin and ventilates the space.
