Resin Creations On Display At Sarina Arts And Crafts Centre

Crafter Judi Hutchinson is having fun creating stunning art pieces, now showcased at the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre.

Using epoxy resin with silicon moulds, alcohol inks, mica powders, glitters, and other embellishments, Judi crafts unique décor items in a meticulous process that can take up to 24 hours.

Her range of Resin Home Decor items includes coasters embedded with fish hooks or beer bottle tops, trinket trays in various colours and styles, bookmarks, key rings, owls, seahorses, turtles adorned with shells, and even a frog with a clock face embedded. A standout item is her beautifully crafted cheese boards.

“I saw a You-Tube video a while ago on using resin and became interested, but as I worked full time I didn’t have the time to try it out,” she said.

“I have always been into sewing and knitting, but it wasn’t until I retired that I finally had time to do other crafts.  I love doing crafts but really enjoy resin craft.”

Judi also volunteers at the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre, which is now open after the Christmas-New Year break. Visitors can stop by Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm to explore her creations.
