Mr. Balaji Vallal is a well-trained sculpting artisan who runs his art workshop in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. At the center, sculptures of clay, fiber casting, metal spoon birds, and scrap metal statues are developed, which are widely exhibited as well as sold to customers spread widely. He has been felicitated with awards and mementos for his contribution to his area of expertise. Scrap is a leftover obtained after a greater portion of something has been used, thus qualifying itself to be recyclable material. Firstly, the artisan gathers scrap metal pieces that suit his/her idea of sculpting. Once selected, these parts are arc welded step by step, at the end of which all the parts are fixed together. Then this semi-finished structure is painted with latex paint using a spray painting gun for a flawless finish.
