The ancient art of bell metal craftsmanship in Sarthebari, Assam, has a rich legacy dating back to the 7th century, making it a cultural treasure of India. However, the traditional techniques used by artisans have faced challenges in adapting to modern demands, leading to stagnation in product innovation. The difficulty of working with bell metal, combined with the artisans' adherence to age-old methods, has limited their ability to create new forms beyond the traditional and auspicious items they are known for. Moreover, the livelihoods of these artisans have been further threatened by mass manufacturers who replicate their designs and sell them at lower prices, diluting the authenticity and value of the original craftsmanship. In response to these challenges, this project aims to introduce a new product line focused on lighting design, leveraging the inherent qualities of bell metal while respecting and preserving the traditional techniques of production. By collaborating closely with the artisans, this initiative seeks to create contemporary lighting fixtures that showcase the unique beauty and resilience of bell metal, thus opening up new markets and opportunities for the artisans without compromising their heritage or craftsmanship. Through this endeavour, we aim to not only revitalise the bell metal industry in Sarthebari but also empower the artisans to sustain their livelihoods while preserving and promoting a centuries-old art form.
