Alison Payne & Antony Halls
Original Resin Creations
Alison and Antony work with synthetic casting resins, to produce individually handmade original resin creations – a diverse range of both wearable jewellery and collectable ornamental items, featuring animals, fluid resin pour pictures and contemporary designs. They also offer a commission service.
Their creativeness is born from a collaboration of skills. Alison originally worked with textiles, joining the Guild in 1988 creating beautiful applique designs that adorned many items. She made the decision to change craft after meeting Antony in 1992. He has sculpted and painted all his working life, with a background in porcelain, learning every aspect of production process. He switched materials in 1990, from porcelain to resin.
With Alison’s understanding of shape and colour and Antony’s knowledge of mould making and casting and decoration, they successfully started designing and producing the original resin creations you see today. Antony specialises in sculpting highly detailed original designs in modelling wax from which they make a mould and cast each piece in exceptionally durable resin. Each piece is then fettled and hand painted to give a detailed finish. There are many different types of casting resin and the nature of the piece in hand, depends on which type of resin is used.
“Resins used within our work are synthetic materials that rely on a chemical reaction for them to cure. It is a precise action, based on a percentage mix weight/ratio or volume, regarding the type of resin and catalyst used. We also use a water-based synthetic resin to create textured paintings.”
There are no boundaries with designing the next idea!
