I love functional art because it can take something that you use often and make into a conversation piece, something that will stand out. Specifically in this course I teach you a step by step process on making an acrylic poured heat proof lazy susan. I include my personal formulas, supply list and step by step video instruction for making three different lazy susan designs. There's also a few tricks in prepping the wood, setting up the lazy susan mechanism, and applying finish that I cover that should help you avoid some of the early mistakes I made when I first started with lazy susans. Let's start!
In this course we’ll cover one project with three different designs for a functional lazy susan.
This is a project I love making and have seen a lot of people struggle with. Especially when it comes to making something heat resistant and what to use. Well in the supplies section I've recommended a resin that works great for up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and won't stick to dishes.
I also see some common mistakes people make when trying to create these types of projects that will be avoided by using this course.
Common Mistakes You'll Avoid:
- Not preparing the wood properly causing warping
- Mixing wrong medium formula that eventually cracks as it dries
- Trouble centering the mechanism making the lazy susan spin lopsided
- Hot plate not heat resistant and sticking to your dishes
- Inconsistencies or uneven finish
I created this course so that anyone at any level could create an awesome looking and functional gift even if they haven't poured anything in their life! I've made a lazy susan many times and have outlined a process that will work for you too.

Your Instructor
Hi! I'm Kriss Danielson, I started acrylic paint pouring almost 2 years ago. I had seen a video on Facebook and fell in love! I started to watch tons of You Tube videos and surfing the net to learn as much as I possibly could about this amazing art form. I realized how much I loved to teach others about painting, so I started my own You Tube channel and have almost 23,000 subscribers and one of my paintings has had almost 1.4 million views! I'm passionate about creating one of a kind pieces with colors and designs that catch the eye and ignite the imagination!
