| Papier Mache craft uses waste paper pulp as the basic raw material, sometimes combined with starch. The paper pulp is then given various forms and shapes, limited only by the imagination of the artist. A wooden mould, which applies pressure on the pulp shapes the pulp to form beautiful art items. Artists typically use this form of sculpture to form various figures and masks of men, women and Gods and Goddesses. Papier-mache art using wooden moulds give a very fine finish as compared to the tribal form of papier-mache sculpting which uses no moulds and hence are rough in finish. We also feature tribal craft in Papier Mache. In Indian tribal papier-mache crafts, artists typically use the pulp as soft clay and sculpt various figures of men, women and Gods and Goddesses. This primitive method results in a unique form of papier mache art, which is slightly rough in nature but offers a special insight into tribal arts. |
