12 Artisan Pigments for Resin Crafts: A Practical Guide

What Are Artisan Pigments and Why Choose a Set of 12?

Artisan pigments are concentrated colourants specifically designed for resin. A collection of 12 gives you a broad palette—from soft pastels to deep, vivid hues—making it easier to layer, blend, or create custom shades within a single project. Using different pigments allows you to experiment with marbling, ombré transitions, or discreet accents and textures that set handmade pieces apart from mass-produced items.

How to Get the Most from Your Pigments

Always start with a small amount of pigment and build up to your desired intensity, as resin pigments are usually highly concentrated. Stir thoroughly for an even colour, or swirl partially for striking effects. When working with kits—such as the Evershine Collection Jewellery Epoxy Resin Kit, which features 12 artisan pigments—follow the instructions for recommended ratios to maintain clarity and cure quality. Mixing thoroughness and precision both impact your final results.

• Mix only as much pigment as needed—too much may affect curing.
• Test colour intensity on a spare piece before casting larger items.
• For layered designs, wait for each layer to partially set before adding a new tint or effect.

When 12 Pigments Make the Difference

If you enjoy personalising gifts, experimenting with colour themes, or matching design briefs in small batches, having 12 artisan pigment colours on hand is particularly useful. This variety is ideal for creating initials with alphabet moulds, seasonal jewellery, or multi-tone home accents—without the need to invest in many individual colour bottles.
