About Behind the Scenes & Miscellaneous Art
Resin art is not just about the finished table; it is about the hours of sanding, the heat guns, and the specific grit of sandpaper used to get that glass-like finish. When I am not teaching, I am likely on the road with a suitcase full of grinders and routers, preparing for the next workshop. This is the unpolished side of the craft where I show you that success in resin requires more than talent—it requires constant trial and error with materials and mixtures.
The Truth About the Craft
People see the glossy river table and think it is magic. I show you the reality. It starts with selecting raw wood, dealing with resin bubbles, and spending hours with an orbital sander. I carry my own grinders, routers, and buffing machines to every workshop because I believe you cannot learn the craft without handling the real equipment.
Why I Share My Process
I post these clips from my workshop floor in Behror and rental spaces across Mumbai, Delhi, and Jaipur for a reason. I want you to see the mistakes. Whether it is a failed pour, a silicone mold I made from a biscuit, or the frustration of lost tools during travel, these are the moments that made me an artist.
What You Will See Here
- Technique breakdowns: From dirty pours to pendulum art, I explain the 'how' behind the visual.
- Tool Talk: I share the specific equipment I use and why it matters for durability.
- The Grind: Real-time footage of sanding, buffing, and finishing—the parts most people skip.
If you are just starting out, watch these videos not just to copy the art, but to understand the discipline. Whether you join my beginner classes or the professional flooring bootcamp, the philosophy remains the same: no shortcuts, just hard work and the right technique.
