Sculpt beautiful resin forms with simple, fun techniques!

Sculptor’s Toolbox

Meet jewelry artist Cynthia Thornton and learn about the sculpting process, from creating a polymer clay master to capturing it in a silicone mold and casting in resin. Learn how to make your own sculpting tools using readily available and affordable resources.

Start Sculpting

Get familiar with polymer by sculpting a simple ornamental pond, complete with lily pads and a lotus flower. Cynthia shows how to form the base and add texture, then bake it with a heat gun to preserve your work before adding more layers of dimension.

Sculpting the Owl

Repurpose the shapes you learned in Lesson 2 to sculpt the feathers, eyes and beak of a whimsical owl. Breaking down the steps, Cynthia demonstrates how easy it is to layer the owl’s feathers and add texture. Bake your finished piece in the oven for durability!

Sculpting the Koi Pond

Follow along with Cynthia as you build on the skills you’ve learned to create a round koi pond with lily pads and a realistic swimming goldfish. You’ll add scales, tails and fins with exquisitely detailed dimension, perfect for casting in resin.

Molding With Silicone

Make a silicone mold of your polymer master! Cynthia demonstrates how to set up your baked pieces to surround them with liquid silicone. You’ll learn best practices for mixing and pouring the silicone for consistent results and minimal air bubbles.

Resin Casting

Cynthia guides you through the many ways you can color your resin to create beautiful pieces straight from the mold. Learn how to handle the resin-mixing and pouring process for successful castings of your polymer sculptures every time.

Finishes

See how to clean up your resin piece after it has cured and add color with acrylic paints or alcohol dyes. Seal your piece for durability and turn your artful creations into jewelry, hairpins and more!
