Craftsmanship & Origin
Channapatna, often called the “Toy Town of Karnataka,” is globally recognized for its wooden lacquerware craft. The process begins with seasoned ivory wood being shaped on a traditional lathe. Natural lac, mixed with organic pigments, is applied through friction while the wood spins, creating a seamless and glossy finish. This eco-friendly technique has been practiced for generations, making each piece a reflection of skilled craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
