I am interested in getting into making resin ornaments. Basically things set into epoxy or polyester resin.

 

Does anyone know of, say, a hobbyist shop in Chiang Mai that sells, moulds, moulding equipment, resin, resin colours etc?

 

Thanks in advance.

You can find resin and moulds on the internet very easily. Lazada for the resin, Banggood for the moulds.

Yep, thanks for that. I just bought my first batch resin from Lazada, but I was asking if anyone knew of a shop that I can go into and pick what I want. Just bought an item from China (Lazada), looked like what I wanted but when arrived it was not, totally useless for me.

I used to buy silicone mould rubber from Likisin Art and Craft Shop, 41/5 Sripoom Rd., located inside the moat between Sripoom Corner and Chang Puak Gate.

They might still have it, as well as other casting supplies you may need.

Good luck with your projects.

You're quite welcome.

I'm primarily a graphic artist, but sculpture has always been of great interest to me.

I find that silicone rubber moulds are by far the best. Much better than latex or other flexible materials. 

I've used silicone moulds for casting resin and also wax for lost wax bronze casting.

If it's of interest to you, there are bronze foundries here that do top quality work at a fraction of what it would cost in the west.

Hello,
You should find this in a craft or hobby store. (Show an example to the seller)
We will also sell you dyes for your resin, rings, cords, small items to put inside and perhaps advice if you come across a specialist.
For the natural, already dry flowers or leaves, between two sheets of blotting paper.
Otherwise, shells, insects that you find, already dead.
Have fun with great satisfaction.
