Nobody dares use color the way Indians do, dramatically audaciously and straight from the heart creating a unique art.

Papier-Mache


The lovely valley of Kashmir is perhaps best known for the craft of papier-mâché which was brought to it by a Kashmiri prince who spent years in a prison at Samarkand in Central Asia. Soaked waste paper, cloth, rice straw and copper sulphate are kneaded into a pulp which is then pressed on to clay, wood or metal moulds. Once it solidifies, it is coated with a white layer of gypsum and glue and then rubbed smooth. Finally the piece is sandpapered and painted with colorful Persian floral motifs.
