Process Of Making Metal Crafts

The metal crafts are generally a result of wax technique in which the artisan first makes a wax model of the item to be made of metal. Once this is done, clay is used to cover the model and some clay is pierced. At last, the metal is taken out by a hole at the top which causes wax to melt. The hot metal fills up the gap. Then the metal is kept for cooling and once the desired product is achieved, it is taken out of the clay and polished to beautify it. A variety of metalwork can be seen from different parts of India.
