Choose Your Resin Experience
UV resin is the quick and easy option. It is perfect for beginners and younger guests (ages 9+), because the resin cures fast under a special light. Guests make bezel pendants, keychains and small jewelry pieces that are ready to take home before they leave the studio.
Epoxy resin is the more custom option for older participants who want to create lasting pieces like coasters, dice, dominoes or detailed accessories. Epoxy needs a 72-hour cure, so those pieces are picked up after the workshop.
You can also give the session a theme. Fun options include Witchy, Pixel Perfect and Modern Earthy, or you can ask about creating your own theme for your group.
Why It Works for Groups
Resin is one of those hands on team building activities where everyone is busy and curious at the same time: picking colors, adding inclusions, comparing designs across the table. It suits birthdays, team events or simply a fun day out with friends, and it ranks among the more creative team building ideas because no two finished pieces look alike.
A past guest wrote that the hosts were friendly and open to helping the group use custom items they brought to add to their resin projects, and that they could not wait to join again. As team building workshops go, it is easy to host, low mess for guests, and great for holiday team building activities or a Christmas party, with handmade gifts as the result. It is also a relaxed choice among team bonding activities for mixed-age groups, since UV resin works for guests as young as 9.
