- 5/5 from Mike Cardello, attended Feb 2026: Went the day after Valentine’s Day as a gift activity for my boyfriend. We were shown different examples of resin art and what it looks like when different paints and pigments are added. The class was in a beautiful apartment. The class was a great phone-free time. It required some teamwork to make the board and pick the colors and style, but it never felt stressful. I’m excited to have the chessboard on display in our apartment!

- 5/5 from Alexis Ayers, attended Mar 2025: Such a great class for couples! Definitely would recommend doing this!
- 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Mar 2025: The Resin Chess set class was very fun. Clay; the instructor; was very friendly and also very helpful in the selection of colors to use. I mean he offered suggestions on how to mix colors to newer colors, different shaded different textures. How to mix regular dyes with phosphorent dyes and/or acrylic paints. Clay also offered a suggestion on how to better determine the what the color would most likely appear by scooping some of the resin and dye/acrylic/powder and then letting it pour off the stick to determine shade of color. Offered suggestions on how best to pour or drizzle using a stick the resins into the molds to get the best filling of the mold. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in taking a class on creating with resin to take a class from Bowery Princes.

Growing up in a family of artists, I had an affinity for all things creative since a young age. Inspiration was everywhere, from my mother's stone sculptures to my sister's colorful impressionist paintings, to my father's poems. I studied at The Art Institute of San Francisco, where I honed my painting, sculpture, and design skills. I was hired out of college to work at Lucasfilm, where I worked as a designer on Star Wars for many years. The Lucasfilm studios are essentially a museum with all its rich history on display. Walking down the hall, you'll pass an actual ET used on set, a full-size velociraptor from Jurassic Park, or a model and matte painting of the Death Star from the 1977 original Star Wars. It's impossible not to feel that anything is possible when surrounded by such iconic creatures and artwork at every turn.Upon moving to New York, I met my husband, and together, we decided to build a space where art is for everyone. At Bowery Princes, art is accessible and anyone can tap into their innate creativity. I started teaching classes because I love working with resin, but there's such a high barrier to entry for this medium, with the masks and equipment and space to cure, etc. I've been doing lessons for over a year now and it's incredibly rewarding to watch guests go from "I'm not artistic at all" to "wow, I made THAT."Come join us, you'll be stunned by how much beauty you can create. We can't wait to meet you.
