If you've seen flowers, photos or ocean scenes sealed inside clear, glass-like pieces and wondered how they're made, you've seen resin art. Here's a simple explanation of what it is and why people love it.
What is resin art?
Resin art is the craft of setting flowers, keepsakes, colours and natural elements inside a clear liquid called epoxy resin, which then hardens into a solid, glass-like form. It turns fragile, temporary things into lasting, durable art. Everything from coasters and trays to jewellery, keychains and wall pieces can be made this way.
How is it made?
In short: the resin is mixed, coloured or arranged with embedded elements, poured into a mould in layers, left to cure into a hard clear solid, then sanded and polished by hand. We break the full process down in our step-by-step flower preservation guide.
What can resin preserve?
Dried flowers, photographs, shells, sand, gold leaf, small mementos — almost anything that's dry and not perishable. This is what makes resin so loved for keepsakes: it can hold the actual flower from your wedding, not just a picture of it.
Is resin art durable? Does it last?
Yes. Quality resin art is hard, water-resistant and built to last many years when kept out of harsh direct sunlight. More in our guide on how long resin art lasts.
Is every piece unique?
When it's handmade, yes. The natural flow of the resin and the embedded elements mean no two pieces are ever identical — which is part of the appeal. A handmade resin piece is genuinely one of a kind.
Why people choose resin art
People come to resin art for the same reason every time: they have something meaningful they don't want to lose. Resin lets them keep it — beautifully, permanently, in a form they can display and hold.
