Coconut based craftsPractised mostly in Kerala, Goa, Orissa and parts of West Bengal, the craftsman use most of part of the coconut to create masterpieces. The fibre is spun into coir, the concave shaped shell is converted into spoons and bowls, the stem into vases and incense stick holder and the husk into figurines. In the Bankura region of WB, artisans carve the coconut shell to make beautiful tea pots, bowls and ornaments. |
Jute craftsJute is extracted from stem of a plant found in Assam, Orissa, West Bengal, UP, Bihar and Tripura. Jute fibres are long, sturdy and lustrous. In some place in Bihar, jute fibres are handspun to make yarns. Once the yarns are made, craftsman turn them into beautiful products using the techniques of braiding, plaiting or knotting. Nowadays, the jute fibres are dyed using chemicals to get desired colours. |
Palm LeafPractised mostly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, this craft involves the leaves of Palmyra tree. The palm leaves are sun dried and the midrib is separated from it. The leaf is then cut into strips of various width as per the requirement. These are then weaved, coiled or braided to form economical and beautiful basketry items, shades, storage containers and even umbrellas. |
