Making Process

Firstly, the artisan sketches a mural design on the MDF board of 6mm thickness to make mural art. While sketching, the direction of an imaginary light source is marked, and accordingly, the placement of highlights and shadows is determined. Then Synthetic adhesive and POP are mixed in a 1:1 ratio to form a paste that is applied over the board and spread evenly with a knife. Another clay dough is made using ceramic powder and synthetic adhesive to create embossing shapes.

This clay is usually rolled over a workspace dusted with ceramic powder. The rolls are shaped into indented figures and then stuck to the POP-coated board. Here the artisan makes necessary impressions over this, using a pen or the end tip of a paintbrush. After the ceramic is adequately dried, it is painted with acrylic colours.
