Mela Artisans collaborates with craftspeople who work with wood, bone and brass – materials that artisans have used for millennia. Many of the workshops are run by young men, who inherited both the space and their skills from their fathers and grandfathers.
Wood carving has been practiced in India throughout history, with unique styles and techniques used in different regions. Two types of wood are particularly popular: sheesham (rosewood) and mango. Sheesham is a strong, dense wood, whilst mango is softer and more malleable.
Bone carving has an equally long history, and has been used to create many artifacts now found in museums worldwide. The bones used today are upcycled waste from slaughtered animals, a sustainable and economical practice. The pieces are cut, dyed and laid out to dry before use, as they have been for generations.
Brass has long been a favorite material of craftspeople around the world. India has a rich history of brass crafting, with many different techniques used. Artisans beat brass to shape it, cast it using natural materials and pound it with dyes, with amazing results.
Mela Artisans allows customers worldwide to fill their lives with beautiful, handcrafted pieces, each with a story to tell, just like the Checkered Cheese Board. Mela Artisans’ sustainable artisanal market transforms both the homes of happy customers and the lives of happy craftspeople.
