I used to make resin art just for fun, until a stranger offered $200 for my coffee table. That’s when I realized – this could be more than a hobby.

Turn resin art into a business by mastering your craft, building a brand, and selling strategically. Start small, scale smart, and solve problems creatively.

Let’s turn your passion into profit.

What steps are needed to transition from hobbyist to professional resin artist?

My first “studio” was my kitchen table¹. Now, I have a dedicated workspace² and a thriving business. Here’s how I made the leap.

Invest in quality materials, create a consistent style, and build a portfolio. Treat your art like a business from day one.

How can you monetize your resin art effectively?

I used to sell only at craft fairs³. Now, I have multiple income streams⁴ – and you can too.

Sell finished pieces, offer workshops, and create DIY kits. Diversify your offerings to reach different customers.

My Revenue Streams

Here’s how I make money:

• Custom orders: Personalized pieces for weddings, anniversaries
• Workshops: Teach resin art basics in person or online
• Kits: Include resin, molds, and instructions for beginners

My “Date Night Kits” – resin supplies for couples to create together – became a hit during lockdown. Pro tip: Bundle products to increase average order value.

What are the key strategies for building a brand around resin art creations?

I used to think branding was just a logo. Now, I know it’s about telling a story⁵ that resonates with customers⁶.

Develop a unique style, create a memorable logo, and use social media to share your journey. People buy into your story, not just your art.

Brand-Building Tips
