2. DHOKRA:
India is a country rich in its cultural heritage. It is home to one
of the oldest civilizations of all time –The Indus Valley
Civilization, which dates back to around 6000 BCE. Since then,
many art forms which produce best handicraft and its evolved,
most of which started to fade away with time. ‘Dhokra Art’ is
one such art form which was almost lost in oblivion, but came
back to life in India during the past decade. Dhokra is derived
from the "Dhokra Damar" Tribe. One of the earliest examples of
this technique is the famous Dancing Girl figurine excavated
from Mohenjodaro.

4. DHOKRA IS NON–FERROUS METAL CASTING USING
THE LOST-WAX CASTING TECHNIQUE. THIS SORT OF METAL
CASTING HAS BEEN USED IN INDIA FOR OVER 4,000 YEARS
AND IS STILL USED. THERE ARE TWO MAIN PROCESSES OF
LOST WAX CASTING: SOLID CASTING AND HOLLOW
CASTING. WHILE THE FORMER IS PREDOMINANT IN THE
SOUTH OF INDIA THE LATTER IS MORE COMMON IN
CENTRAL AND EASTERN INDIA. SOLID CASTING DOES NOT
USE A CLAY CORE BUT INSTEAD A SOLID PIECE OF WAX TO
CREATE THE MOULD; HOLLOW CASTING IS THE MORE
TRADITIONAL METHOD AND USES THE CLAY CORE.
http://www.craftedindia.com
5. The first task in the lost wax hollow casting
process consists of developing a clay core
which is roughly the shape of the final cast
image. Next, the clay core is covered by a layer
of wax composed of pure bee’s wax, resin from
the tree Damara orientalis, and nut oil. The wax
is then shaped and carved in all its finer details
of design and decorations. It is then covered
with layers of clay, which takes the negative
form of the wax on the inside, thus becoming a
mould for the metal that will be poured inside it.

6. Drain ducts are left for the wax, which melts away
when the clay is cooked. The wax is then replaced
by the molten metal, often using brass scrap as
basic raw material. The liquid metal poured in
hardens between the core and the inner surface of
the mould. The metal fills the mould and takes the
same shape as the wax. The outer layer of clay is
then chipped off and the metal icon is polished
and finished as desired.

7. The creative piece has no joints and comes in one
piece, as a whole. Since, Dhokra Art is
handcrafted, the shapes are not perfect and the
symmetries are not mirrored, contrary to the ones
produced with the help of machines.
These creative pieces of Dhokra Art are alluring,
unique and graceful. However, making them is a
tedious task. One consignment of a new line of
product takes about 6 to 8 months to complete.

8. Dhokra is non–ferrous metal casting using
the Lost-Wax Casting technique. This sort of
metal casting has been used in India for over
4,000 years and is still used. process consists of
developing a clay core which is roughly the shape
of the final cast image. The clay core is covered
by a layer of wax composed of pure bee’s wax,
resin from the tree Damara orientalis, and nut oil.
Each product is unique as the mould can be used
only once.
