I’m Myléne Hillam, resin expert, designer for the craft industry, author and artist at Mill Lane Studio. Home for me is in Brisbane, in sunny Queensland, Australia. During the day (and most nights) you’ll find me playing with the many resin, art, craft and jewellery-making supplies in my studio. My interest in resin was first piqued in high school when I got to work with plastics in the Manual Arts Block. At the time, it was ground breaking for manual arts to be opened up to girls and I loved the hands on nature of shaping and forming metal, wood and plastic. Of all the things we did in the manual arts centre, working with plastics was by far my favourite! My passion for plastic and resin was re-awakened about 12 years ago when I learned how to make resin bangles and rings and I haven’t stopped working with resin since! I’ve worked with many craft mediums over the years but none has held my interest like resin. My repertoire extends beyond bangles and rings now to include resin jewellery and home décor items and there’s no end in sight with all the wonderful possibilities resin presents.
