Our Story

Before Painting With Resin was a studio, it was a systems mindset.

For years, I worked as a consultant inside companies — analyzing workflows, improving procedures, and simplifying complicated processes so teams could perform better. I specialized in breaking down complex systems and rebuilding them into clear, repeatable steps that anyone could follow.

Then resin entered my life.

What I quickly realized? Resin is beautiful — but it’s also intimidating. Sticky. Technical. Easy to overcomplicate.

So I did what I’ve always done.

I simplified it.

I applied the same process-improvement mindset I used in corporate environments to resin art. I tested, refined, measured, adjusted. I eliminated confusion. I pre-measured materials. I structured the steps. I removed the overwhelm.

And suddenly — beginners were creating professional-looking pieces on their very first pour.

That’s how Painting With Resin was born.

Today, every workshop — whether in our Norton, MA studio or at a corporate leadership event — is designed with intention:

• Clear, guided instruction
• Streamlined materials
• No guesswork
• No wasted product
• No “what do I do now?” moments

Just a relaxed, confidence-building creative experience where you leave proud of what you made.

Because creativity should feel empowering — not stressful.

And yes… we’re still a cat-friendly, BYOB studio. 🐾🍷

What began as one playful project quickly turned into a 10+ year journey as a resin artist. After acquiring a successful Etsy shop filled with custom molds and designs, I made a bold decision — instead of shipping pieces out, I would invite people in.

Friends gathered for resin nights. Those nights turned into workshops. And those workshops became what is now Painting With Resin — a creative studio in Norton, MA designed for women who want something different.

Today, I offer:
• Beginner-friendly resin classes (ages 13+)
• Luxury charcuterie boards, trays, canvases & tables
• Mobile events for colleges, corporations & girls’ nights
• Online self-paced kits shipped across the U.S.

Everything is pre-measured and guided step-by-step, so you can relax, pour, and create something you’re genuinely proud to display in your home.

This isn’t just crafting.
It’s connection.
It’s confidence.
It’s a night you’ll talk about long after the resin cures.

And yes — we’re a proudly cat-friendly studio 🐾

Let’s create something beautiful together.

Best,

Cheryl Bowden
