Artisan At Works is rooted in the belief of creating timeless epoxy resin furniture and homeware made to stand the test of time.

About the founder

Everything and everyone has a story — and I’m no exception.
My name is Saariena Shafi, and my journey began with a deep, lifelong passion for art, craftsmanship, and all things handmade. What started as a personal love for creating soon grew into something far more meaningful — a business, a lifestyle, and a way to share beauty with the world.

What sets my work apart from other commercial ventures is that I never began this path with profit in mind. I was — and still am — a pure enthusiast, someone who taught herself many of the intricate techniques of woodworking through trial, error, and relentless curiosity.

The way I managed to transform a passion into a business is, honestly, a story in itself — one filled with creativity, resilience, and a lot of sawdust!

To be honest, I owe everything to my family. They’ve been the driving force behind my creativity — always encouraging me, always believing in my ideas, long before they ever turned into something tangible. It’s their unwavering support that helped me find my true path.

Everything began with a single image — a picture of a tree trunk beautifully engraved. Something about it spoke to me. I decided to recreate it, and that one attempt opened a door I never knew existed. From there, I started experimenting with epoxy resin, learning through trial and error, tutorials, and countless YouTube videos.

What began as a hobby soon transformed into an obsession. I started developing my own custom epoxy resin formulas, shaped by my personal style and artistic vision. I didn’t realize it back then, but that first engraved wood piece was only the beginning.

I began crafting wood and resin bracelets, rings, phone covers, and lamps — and to my surprise, people loved them. Those first sales were life-changing. They didn’t just validate my work — they inspired me to keep going.

So I kept learning, investing in better tools and materials, and refining every detail. I dreamed of making products that wouldn’t just sit on a shelf, but truly make a difference — gifts with meaning, décor with soul, and accessories that tell a story.

And here I am — building a business that reflects everything I love: art, nature, craftsmanship, and the beauty of handmade work.

When it comes to design, I’ve always been drawn to marine themes — the rhythm of the waves, the softness of sand, the mesmerizing blend of ocean colors. One day, I wondered: What if I could capture that moment — a foamy wave rushing onto the shore — in wood and epoxy resin?

And it worked.

That’s the magic of this medium. With wood and epoxy, no two pieces are ever the same. The natural grain of the wood, the way resin flows and settles — it’s all unpredictable, organic, and truly one-of-a-kind. Like nature itself, every piece tells its own story.

I put great care into the design of each product, often collaborating closely with clients to make sure every detail matches their taste and vision. This one-on-one approach makes every creation unique — from the materials chosen to the final polish.

There are no limits to what we can make together. Every new piece is a fresh experience, a chance to explore, solve, and create something entirely new. That’s what keeps me inspired — the blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and connection.

I hope that love and care can be felt in every item you choose for your home or as a gift.
Thank you — truly — for supporting this journey, for choosing handmade, and for helping us grow. Your loyalty means the world to us.
