We had a great workshop featuring Resin Painting taught by Emily. Everyone had a great time and made great art. Watching the art work change as the Epoxy mixed and hardened was fascinating.
There will be more workshops in the future. Please keep an eye on our mailing lists for the announcement.
Like many, I was surprised and saddened to hear of TechShop’s closing. My name is Nate Bezanson, and I’ve been around i3Detroit since the very early days, back in 2009, before we had a space. Before we were even certain we’d end up in a space! That seems obvious in retrospect, but it might not have happened the way it did if not for TechShop’s influence.
The history of i3Detroit is intertwined with the history of TechShop in several ways, and I think it’s time to tell that story.
In the spring of 2009, a little group started meeting at the now-defunct Coffee Beanery in Berkley. (It’s now a Firehouse Subs.) Russ Wolfe was inspired by an article in Wired, I had previously spent some time at HacDC, and going around the group, every single person had their own “origin story”, of how we came to believe in the value of the shared workspace. Russ had come up with the “imagine, innovate, inspire” theme and he registered the i3Detroit domain name, but there was no i3Detroit yet, not in a physical sense.

What:
Epoxy resin is not a well-known artistic medium. Epoxy resin is used in 2d paintings as well as sculptures. The amazing, unique properties of epoxy resin offers an infinite number of combinations and outcomes when adding color to the resin.
Mixing resin with various color mediums such as acrylic paint, inks, and pigment powder tend to create various ways in which the colored resins interact with each other on a canvas. The resin also allows for a multitude of layers to evolve as it cures. These layers add incredible depth to the painting, making the painting more than just a two dimensional piece of art.
Students will learn various resin art techniques. The students will create their own 8 1/2 x 11 inch canvas resin artwork to take home.
