Eco-Resin Crafts
Resin craft is a great way to make beautiful items for your home and gifts for yourself or others.
Hazel Oliver is the name behind Badger & Birch, whose eco-friendly practices include using solvent free and non-toxic resin, and incorporating natural waste such as mussel and oyster shells from her local restaurant, as well as natural minerals, gemstones and crystals. In this her first book, Hazel shows you the basics of resin craft, including mixing and pouring, making moulds, and finishing your pieces. The 30 projects include vases, planters, candle holders and other items for the home, as well as moulded decorations in leaf shapes and other natural forms. The soft colours, natural elements and beautiful finish of Hazel's work will inspire you to take up this flourishing craft, or give you new ideas if you are already a keen resin crafter.
Hazel Oliver is the maker behind Badger & Birch, an eco-friendly, minimal-waste creator of beautiful resin products for you and your home. She is based in Falmouth, Cornwall, where she makes use of local seashells in her work, and was commissioned to provide gifts for the G7 delegates attending the 2021 summit in Cornwall.
