Behind the Scenes: The Art of Handcrafted Resin Creation
Every piece of resin art at Artwana tells a story—a story of creativity, precision, and passion. Today, we're pulling back the curtain to show you the meticulous process behind our handcrafted creations.
The Creative Process
1. Concept & Design
Every piece begins with inspiration. We draw from nature, architecture, cultural motifs, and customer feedback to create designs that resonate. Our Blue Harora collection, for example, was inspired by the mesmerizing colors of ocean waves at sunset.
2. Material Selection
Quality starts with materials. We use:
- Premium epoxy resin: UV-resistant, non-toxic, and crystal clear
- Professional pigments: Fade-resistant colors that maintain vibrancy
- Specialty additives: Metallics, glitters, and unique effects
- Quality molds: Precision-crafted for perfect finishes
The Creation Journey
Step 1: Preparation
We prepare our workspace meticulously—temperature control, dust-free environment, and organized materials. Resin is sensitive, and conditions must be perfect.
Step 2: Mixing & Coloring
This is where science meets art. We carefully measure resin and hardener in exact ratios, then add pigments to achieve the perfect hue. Each color in our teal and gold trays is custom-mixed for consistency.
Step 3: Pouring Technique
The pour is critical. We use various techniques:
- Layering: For depth and dimension
- Swirling: For organic, flowing patterns
- Embedding: For incorporating elements like gold leaf
- Geode style: For crystal-like effects
Step 4: Curing Process
Patience is essential. Pieces cure for 24-72 hours in controlled conditions. We monitor temperature and humidity to prevent imperfections.
Step 5: Demolding & Finishing
Once cured, we carefully demold each piece. Then comes sanding, polishing, and quality inspection. Every resin tray is hand-finished to perfection.
Special Techniques

Creating premium earrings and keychains demands miniature precision. We use specialized molds and ultra-fine finishing techniques.
Religious Art
Pieces like our Rehaal sets and Quran sets are crafted with reverence and attention to cultural significance.
Quality Control
Before any piece reaches you, it undergoes rigorous inspection:
- ✓ Surface smoothness check

- ✓ Protective packaging
Sustainability Commitment
We're committed to responsible creation:
- Minimal waste through precise measuring
- Reusable molds and tools
