🐾 Batter Approved! 🐾

When the shop dog stops what he’s doing to admire a project… you know it turned out good. 😎

Our latest Resin Portholes workshop was a huge success, and the finished pieces are absolutely stunning! From colorful underwater scenes filled with shells, sea life, and ocean treasures to deep blue “under the sea” creations, every porthole tells its own coastal story.

Even Batter gave them his official inspection… and we’re happy to report they’re 100% Batter-Approved™. 🐶⚓🌊

One of the things we love most about this project is that no two ever look alike. Whether you create a peaceful ocean view, a treasure-filled reef, or a whimsical underwater adventure, your porthole becomes a one-of-a-kind piece of coastal art.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their creativity. We can’t wait to see these hanging in your homes!

👇 Tell us which one is your favorite:
🐙 Ocean Adventure
⭐ Starfish Cove
🐢 Sea Turtle Escape
🐚 Shell Collector’s Dream

And if you missed this class… don’t worry. Based on Batter’s recommendation, this project will definitely be making another appearance. 😉

🎥✨ From blank frames to coastal masterpieces!

What an amazing class at Hammer & Stain Crystal Coast! Watching everyone bring these layered resin portholes to life was SO much fun — paint, textures, tiny details, ocean vibes, and lots of laughs along the way. 🌊🐚⚓

Every piece turned out completely different, and that’s the magic of DIY. No two artists. No two projects. Just creativity, good company, and a little coastal inspiration. 💙

These classes are more than just crafting… they’re an experience. Grab your favorite drink, relax, create, and leave with something you’ll actually want to display at home. 🍷✨

🪿 THE FLOCK HAS ARRIVED! 🪿

From trailer-load pickup day…
to a studio FULL of blank geese…
to tutus, wings, swimsuits, sass, and full-blown goose personalities 😂💕

This class absolutely took on a life of its own and we are HERE for it.

We started with a trailer packed with geese (and yes… 👀 you may spot a few pelicans sneaking in there too…) and turned them into one-of-a-kind porch personalities!

From:
✨ Fancy beach geese
✨ Fairy geese
✨ Salty geese
✨ Silly geese
✨ Future baseball geese

The creativity was unreal and every single one ended up with its own attitude 😂

And since everyone keeps asking…
YES — the pelicans on the trailer may be making an appearance in an upcoming class 👀🐦🌴

Drop a 🪿 below if you want first dibs when the next flock (and pelicans!) lands at Hammer & Stain Crystal Coast!
