How Metal Artists In India Are Keeping A 4,500-Year-Old Craft Alive

- Dhokra art is one of the world’s oldest art forms. The metal-casting craft has been practiced by tribal families throughout India for 4,500 years. But following an economic reform in 2016 and the rising cost of raw materials, the future of this craft may be in jeopardy.

Hello
Hi,
Kindly visit the artists once more to support their livelihood.
Moreover, I would be gratified much if you consider sending the address of their workshop.
I came here from a short. Thank goodness for those annoying little shorts. I'm fascinated by this art!
I found this video from its short, as well. And I agree that shorts are annoying.
Same
Thoroughly enjoyed learning about Dokra art.Being a connoisseur of traditional art and a small time collector,
small time collector , it pains me to know that these skilled artisans are not recognised adequately and find it difficult to make ends meet. I would like to see more of such traditional artisans and their unique art forms. Can you please post any videos on PataChtra, a traditional art form of Orissa, which is etching various forms on Palm leaf.
It breaks my heart that india is the biggest consumer of youtube but they're not interested in their culture anymore.
For the past 2 generations, the world and our own country taught us that we should shed our culture and become 'modern'. They even pumped a lot of money to 'reform' us out of our family trades into getting 'higher' education so that we are 'not exploited'. Never take advice from immature people, no matter how rich and powerful they are at the moment.
What a marvelous art form....something that was way ahead of its generation and today it might be old but more precious than gold.....
Ours may be the only country which doesn't recognise/values its own traditional art forms...
I have always been fascinated by India. The history,the people, the land, animals, flora. And the music and art. The fabrics,the customs and festivals, everything. Please don’t be eaten up by China or any other country or culture. Time changes everything, but it is good to remember the past, let go of the bad, and preserve the good and unique❤️
Use this chap's time and effort, show their day to day struggle, but won't have the decency to give the audience his contact or website. Not cool 😢
Distribution problem, he still sells through government owned stores
Fascinating and beautiful art!!!
Such an eco-friendly way to make art.
These statuettes look magnificent!
You'll find extraordinarily artisans with world class art in every citu and every street of India and sadly living under worse conditions.
Very cunningly the foreign channels target people to point flak at the current Indian Government because they are not a puppet of the western interests. The current Indian government is working hard for the development of indigenous art forms
Rajendra ji aap apni parmpra ko hi nhi hmari sanskrti ko bhi aage bda rhe h ,aap ko abhinadan krte h,aap se milne jarur aaunga ,jay hind Jay bharat
What I don't understand is that it's the wax that forms the main shape and forms but he eventually burns them all out again. And put in the liquified metals into it...but it still forms the images...I'm lost😮
The wax design imprints on the inside of the second layer of clay. The outside clay holds the impression that the wax left behind and gets baked hard. Molten metal then takes that shape.
That's what the clay mould is for.
Try to Google investment casting and lost wax casting
It is the Lost Wax Technique of Harappan Civilization ❤
I am assuming the core clay remains inside the metal sculpture once finished? At least in some form?
Yes, it remains inside, some left a little hole so dry from inside can be took out
Hate this practice of giant youtube channel funded by multinational media company, beside his name, they didnt give any details of the artist, they should have to provide his details so ppl can reach out to him.
How do you buy this art ?
To get the real thing, something unique, made by a craftsman, you would have to get it directly from them.
Maybe online or you could go there in person.
How come it has less than 1000 views in 2 days.
No idea, this is pretty amazing to watch.
Today it's modified version is used to make jet engine parts, know as investment casting process, great India, Wise India. ❤
Thanks
This is very beautiful technique I have done camp of this art
Excellent
Demonetization did not kill this craft. We Indians who love our country need to buy these arts. The worst we could do is ignore our traditional arts to the political left to take over and exploit against us.
Does anyone know why the beeswax is black?
❤
