Loha kaam A wrought-iron craft from Bastar, Chattisgarh, Loha Kaam is done by the iron craftsmen who originally belonged to the lohar or ironsmith community. They turn iron strips and plates into various designs and motifs that generally include features from tribal life and nature. Nowadays, this craft is used even in furniture and artefacts such as showpieces, table base, figurines, partitioners etc.
Paintings Right from the Warli paintings of remote villages in Maharashtra and Gujarat, to Madhubani paintings in Bihar and Patachitra from Odisha and West Bengal, our states have a lot to offer as far as paintings are concerned. What would just be made as paintings or murals before, these ancient art forms are now adapted to form various art works like wall hangings, porcelain plates, pots, lamp shades, as well as table runners and coasters.
Terracotta A large variety of terracotta can be seen in lamps, pitchers, urns, musical instruments, goblets, human and animal figures, medallions. A functional form of art, this first creative expression of civilisation is common among various artefacts, not just traditional but contemporary styles as well. The art form can be vividly seen in the temples at Bishnupur in Bankura district, as well as some experiments with terracotta have been done at Shantiniketan in West Bengal. Rajasthan, too these days is manufacturing a lot of terracotta handicrafts. Terracotta art bears testimony to the varied and ancient traditions of its practice in India. The Bakura style animal figurines especially horses are some of the most popular pieces of terracotta work that can be used to beautify your home.
Dokhra It is a primitive craft, that uses lost wax casting process in a multi-layer process in which clay moulds are baked and then covered with wax threads. Thereafter, intricate designs are carved with fine tools which is then covered with another layer of clay, baked and dried. Two holes are made in the mould to pour molten brass, which then takes the shape of the design. Each item is made out of one mould, which cannot be reused. Earlier used by the craftsmen to make tribal motifs based on village lifestyle, it's now used to make utility items like fruit bowls, trays, etc. However, some of the tribal-inspired figurines made in dokhra craft can make your home look extremely artistic.
Gond This famous tribal folk art form used to decorate walls, especially on occasions like weddings and festivals, has now been adapted in a commercial way. These designs are inspired by nature, village life as well as mythology, it has intricate designs, unlike other folk art forms. Earlier done with vegetable colours, now acrylic colours are used on various mediums like walls, flower vases, coffee mug, ceramic, wood, table top, etc.
Lippan Kaam This folk art originates from the Kutch area of Gujarat. Lippan Kaam refers to the mud mirror art, primarily done on walls of home in Kutch, which acts as an insulator in extreme climatic conditions. The art form now finds a pride of place in modern homes in the form of wall decor. The craftsmen are now teaching the students to adapt the design on a piece of plywood. Clay is made soft and pliable and then rolled into long pieces and stuck on the design with a mild adhesive. The final step is to stick the mirrors, and add embroidery and painting.
Filigree work An art form that is popular in Odisha, it consists of intricate metal work, usually made in silver. Adorned with tiny beads or twisted threads or both in combination, soldered together are used to make various art pieces. These days, this traditional art work is finding place among a lot of contemporary designs for clocks, mirrors, etc. The work is so intricate that it looks like a lace woven together and created into a single motif. There are several artefacts that are designed using filigree, but some of the most common ones are lanterns, sindoor cases etc.
