Resin and clay tools and materials make a huge difference when you’re starting out… below you’ll find the exact products I personally use in my own handmade resin and clay creations, from UV lamps and resin to clay tools and finishing supplies.

If you’re just getting started, I’d recommend beginning with a UV lamp, clear resin and a simple silicone mold – everything else can build from there.

UV Lamp

This is the UV lamp I use for curing small jewellery pieces and sculptural details. It cures resin quickly, evenly and on both sides, it can be opened out to fit slightly larger items when needed – its very versatile to use.

UV Resin

This is the UV resin I use to create jewellery, keyrings and also coat and detail my clay pieces. It cures quickly under the lamp and gives a clear glossy, glass like finish without a strong odour

UV Torch

I also use a small UV torch for targeted curing and quick touch-ups. Its especially useful for small resin details and layered work.

Air Dry Clay

This is the air dry clay that I like to work with for jewellery pieces and also sculptural bases before sealing with resin. I find it’s lightweight, easy to shape by hand, and sands smoothly once fully dry. There are variations in colour too white, stone or terracotta which is very useful.

Finishing & Detail Materials

Acrylic Paints

I use acrylic paints to add depth and colour before sealing with resin. They blend beautifully and allow me to create layered tones

Copper Wire

Fine copper wire adds structure and warmth to my pieces. I use it to wrap branches and create sculptural detail. This wire is nice and easy to bend and shape.

Glass Paint

In the photo you can see I have used glass paint over resin to create translucent amber tones in my resin details. It gives a stained-glass effect when layered.

Clay tools

These are the basic clay tools I use for shaping, smoothing and adding texture before painting and sealing. The silicone brush tips are also very useful when using with resin .
