our process

From idea to heirloom.

Six unhurried steps between your first message and the piece in your hands. Here is exactly how a ResinRiva commission comes together — and how long it honestly takes.

Six steps, no shortcuts

The brief
It starts with a WhatsApp conversation. You share the idea, reference photos, the sizes you're imagining and the budget you're comfortable with — and we ask the questions that shape the design.
Design & mock-up
We translate the brief into sketches and, for 3D-printed work, digital previews. Nothing is poured until you've approved the design — every detail agreed before resin ever meets the mould.
Materials
Art-grade epoxy resin, mineral pigments, preserved florals and selected wood. If the piece holds your own flowers or keepsakes, we prepare and preserve them first, with the care they deserve.
The pour
Resin goes in layer by layer, each pour left to cure for 24–72 hours before the next. Layering is what gives a piece its depth — and exactly why it can never be hurried.
Finishing
Once fully cured, the piece is sanded from 400 up to 3000 grit, then polished until it reads like glass. Hardware, hooks or stands are fitted and checked by hand.
Quality & dispatch
You receive photos of the finished piece for approval before it ships. Then it's packed fragile-proof and sent with tracked shipping, anywhere in India.

What your piece is made of

Epoxy resin

Art-grade and crystal clear when fully cured.

Teak & river wood

Seasoned hardwood, sealed and finished by hand.

Mineral pigments

Lightfast colour that keeps its depth for decades.

Preserved botanicals

Your flowers, dried and stabilised to hold their form.

Honest timelines

Every piece is made to order, so timelines flex with complexity and cure times. As a fair guide:

Small pieces

Coasters, jewellery, keepsakes and similar work is usually ready in 7–10 days.

Statement pieces

Tables, large wall art and layered preservation work take 3–6 weeks, depending on cure times and complexity.

Festival seasons

Around festivals and the wedding months the calendar fills quickly — book early to be sure of your date.

We confirm a realistic timeline before any work begins — and keep you posted at every stage, from first pour to dispatch.
