Resin SIG

The Resin Special Interest group is for DMS members who are interested in using resins in a wide variety of projects. Resin can be used in so many ways-jewelry, woodworking, creative arts, gaming, fabrication, cosplay - just to name a few. Due to this, there are various ways the Resin SIG has potential to crossover into other committee areas. The current leader for the Resin SIG is Laura Gonzalez (talk handle @starreyedgirl).

The Resin SIG is currently housed under the Creative Arts committee.
