Our Handmade Lippan Art Process
A look at how our Bangalore team turns ideas into handcrafted Lippan art. From the first sketch to the final mirror placement, we ensure every piece is made to last.
Our team works together on a large custom panel. This collaborative process allows us to complete big projects efficiently while maintaining the high quality of our handmade art.

About Our Handmade Process
We build all our Lippan panels on high-density 8mm-12mm MDF in our studio, so there is no messy construction work inside your home. We finish the painting, mirror setting, and varnishing before we even arrive, meaning you get a ready-to-mount piece that is clean, durable, and won't drop clay dust all over your floors.
From Ideas to Installation
At ArtStore65, we believe the magic is in the details. Whether you want a traditional Kutch-style geometric pattern or a modern mandala for your living room, our process is designed to be as smooth as possible for you.
- Planning & Design: We start by understanding your space. You can share a rough idea or a specific theme, and we sketch the layout.
- Building the Base: We use moisture-resistant MDF or marine ply to create a stable, long-lasting foundation.
- Clay & Detail: Our artists hand-apply the clay work, crafting curves, floral motifs, or complex mythological scenes like Radha-Krishna.
- Mirror Placement: This is the labor-intensive part. We hand-set every mirror to ensure the piece catches the light just right.
- Finish: Every piece gets a protective varnish or high-gloss epoxy coat, making it easy to wipe down and dust-proof.
Why We Work This Way
By doing the heavy lifting in our workshop in Mahalakshmipuram, we ensure consistent quality. It also allows us to handle large-scale projects for showrooms and offices in areas like Koramangala, Indiranagar, and Whitefield without disrupting your daily routine. We do not believe in shortcuts; we believe in the steady hand of an artist to give your home that pleasant, mesmerizing look.
