The book that stops beginners from wasting resin

The Epoxy Resin Art

A complete resin learning system built around what actually goes wrong — and how to prevent it. 28 full-color projects, a complete troubleshooting chapter, and the Maya Hartwell Studio Toolkit at your workbench.

What you'll find inside

  • ✓ The complete troubleshooting chapter — 15 real failure modes diagnosed: sticky surfaces, bubbles, fish eyes, cloudiness, overheating, colour bleeding, soft spots.
  • ✓ The mixing system explained properly — volume vs. weight, brand by brand. Why getting this wrong causes most failed pours.
  • ✓ 28 full-color projects — from your first coaster to a river tray and ocean canvas. Each project builds only on skills you've already practiced.
  • ✓ Temperature, humidity and workspace control — the invisible variables that sink more pours than bad technique.
  • ★ Maya Hartwell Studio Toolkit included — Resin Dose Calculator, Pre-Pour Master Checklist, Brand Comparison Card, Curing Temperature Chart, Colour Mixing Record, Safety Quick Reference, and Troubleshooting Diagnosis Card.

About Maya Hartwell

I write from a workbench,
not a studio.

I came to resin through chemistry — and through a failed attempt to repair a piece of furniture in my London kitchen in 2020. What started as a miscalculated epoxy experiment became a methodical obsession with understanding exactly why resin behaves the way it does.

I moved to Austin in 2022 for the garage space. I have been working and writing there since.

The three-book series is the instruction I wished had existed when I started: technical without being academic, precise without being cold, and always tested on a real workbench before it appeared on a page.
