Create your own “amber” jewelry using safe casting resin! *Resin needs time to cure - Return after 24hrs to pick up your finished piece.
Step back in time to the prehistoric Eocene epoch and create your own “amber” jewelry! Using safe casting resin, you'll embed small objects, faux insects, leaves, or flowers to mimic how ancient creatures were preserved in amber millions of years ago. Each finished piece will become a wearable pendant, blending science, history, and hands-on creativity.
So, come connect natural history with art while learning about basic resin techniques and the science of amber fossilization.
Note that the resin will need to sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours to cure, so you will need to pick up your finished piece on a later day.
