I make resin art in London.
My work hangs in homes across the UK and internationally. Every piece is an original: shaped by the resin, and by the story behind it.
I'm Rengin Wade, a London-based resin artist and founder of Resin By Ren. My background is in architecture and interior design. I create original epoxy resin wall art, take on custom commissions including memorial and keepsake pieces, and offer one-to-one online coaching. My work has sold to customers across the UK and internationally.
How I got here
Before I was Resin By Ren, I was Rengin, Architectural Assistant.
I'd spent years studying Interior Design and Architecture - a Bachelor's, then a Master's, because I believed the built environment could make people feel something. Proportion, texture, the way light falls through a window. The way a well-designed room changes how you feel in your own home. I was completely absorbed by it.
Then life intervened. COVID arrived, and with it a diagnosis that changed everything: Myasthenia Gravis, a rare autoimmune condition that made continuing the career I'd worked for impossible.
I needed something. A way to stay inside the world of form and colour. Something to make with my hands.
I found resin.
It started as an escape. I was mixing pigments in my London flat, just to see what would happen. Then I couldn't stop. Every pour is different. The resin makes its own decisions. You learn to work with it, not against it. And every piece that comes out of it is completely one of a kind.
That unpredictability is the thing I love most about it. It's what my architecture training never prepared me for, and the thing that's taught me the most.
What I Make
Resin wall art. Custom commissions. Pieces made from things that matter: festival wristbands, wedding flowers, objects that hold a memory you're not ready to lose.
Every piece is handmade in my London studio. I work in small batches because I care about what leaves my hands. No two pieces are ever identical, because resin doesn't work that way. You don't get a copy - you get the original.
My background in architecture shapes everything about how I approach colour, proportion, and form. The resin does things I didn't plan. My job is to understand it well enough to guide it.
Each piece ships in sustainable packaging, with a care card and a microfibre cloth, because the details are part of the work too.
Over 147 five-star reviews from customers across the UK and beyond. Not one of them automated.
What I Teach
A few years of pouring resin every day teaches you things you can't find in a YouTube tutorial: how the material behaves, what causes mistakes, and how to develop your own style rather than copy someone else's.
I started teaching because I kept getting the same message: "I want to learn this, but I don't know where to start."
I offer one-to-one online coaching sessions - tailored to wherever you are, whether you've never touched resin or you're trying to level up a specific technique. I also run a structured Ocean Coaster course, and a full ebook is coming later this year that covers everything I wish I'd known from the beginning.
The teaching comes from the same place as the art: a genuine need to understand why resin behaves the way it does, and to pass that on.
