About the Art Form
About the Art Form
In Kerala, the coconut tree is called as “Kalpa Vriksham” which essentially means all parts of a Coconut tree is useful some way or other. The wide range of beneficial products obtained from the wonder tree include virgin coconut oil, milk, desiccated coconut, cream, chips, tender water, vinegar, jaggery, powder and even activated charcoal. This extra-ordinary tree is also called the tree of life.
The traditional craft of carving coconut shells into natural and sustainable decor and servingware items is a be-fitting match to Kerela’s eco-friendly tourism renowned across the world. Handcrafted curios include ladles, bowls, tea-light holders, planters, soap stands and much more. While traditionally the coconut farmers would scoop out the inside of a coconut to use the outer shell for household items, the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products has given rise to many more designs and utility items.
The cutting and smoothening of coconut shells is a painstaking process done by skilled artisans. Once the shell is scraped, the coconut is cut into desired shapes with bow blades and stencils. Filing process is conducted repeatedly for firm finishing of these delicate items, followed by drilling holes if required. String adhesives are used to combine different parts and the final product coated with bee wax is dried in the sunlight.
“Kera” meaning coconut is a part of the identity and livelihood for people from God’s own country. A handmade product straight from this land will reflect your living space’s beauty in natural, earthy and sustainable hues.
