Whether it’s fixing a sticky pour, removing bubbles from a custom mold, or getting the perfect finish on a river table, I’ve spent years learning what works through trial and error. If you are curious about my process or want to try it yourself in my Mumbai studio, let's chat about my upcoming workshop batches. You see the glossy, finished tables and lamps, but the road to get there is full of dust, masks, and occasional 'oops' moments. My studio in Andheri West is where I embrace this chaos. ### The Reality of Resin Art Working with epoxy resin is an unpredictable game. It’s chemistry meeting creativity. When I’m fabricating a live-edge river table, it’s not just about the pour. It involves prepping the wood, constructing leak-proof molds, and constant sanding—moving from 80 grit up to 2000 grit to achieve that glass-like finish. It’s labor-intensive, it gets messy, and yes, sometimes I break things. But that’s the work. ### Why I Share My Process I believe in transparency. I don't gatekeep my techniques. In my workshops, I teach everything from dustpan pouring to fixing humidity-related mistakes. Whether you are learning to cast a resin lamp or building your first custom furniture piece, I show you how to handle the tools—the Dremel, the buffers, and the heat guns—safely and effectively. ### Join the Studio My space is for people who want to learn by doing. Whether you are looking for a weekend hobby or wanting to dive into professional resin art, I keep my batches small (max 5 people) so you get actual attention. You won't just watch me; you will get your hands dirty, make your own piece, and walk away with the confidence to keep creating. If you have a project in mind or want to book a seat for the next session, send me a message. Let’s make something real together. ## About Poonam Shah Art Studio I’m Poonam. I started as a finance professional, but found my true calling in the chaos of resin art. Now, I spend my days creating custom keepsakes and teaching others that it’s okay to have a messy studio—that’s where the best stories begin.
