Spend an hour in a Detroit studio learning to pour, color, and finish your own resin tumbler. Instructor-led and family-friendly, this workshop provides materials and leaves you with a cured, custom cup.

The studio door opens to a warm, resin-scented air that hums with color — rows of tumblers spin slowly on lazy susans while an instructor guides the next brushstroke. You’ll be shoulder-to-shoulder with makers and first-timers, watching pigments bloom and glitter settle as the cup you designed begins to take on its own personality.

History
Resin art borrows materials and finishes from industrial Michigan trades; local maker spaces and markets in Detroit have adopted these techniques in recent years.
Conservation
Resin can be chemically active — choose studios that use proper ventilation, dispose of waste responsibly, and follow manufacturer disposal guidelines to reduce environmental impact.
