Story Behind the Art

The crafting process is very detailed and time consuming from start to finish.  Artisans use two different art techniques to craft the papier mache beads and clay beads.   The art of making clay beads from scratch begins with hand-rolling the clay into the bead and delicately piercing it to form the beading hole, before firing in the kiln.  The beads are then hand-painted and glazed before the final firing.  The one-of-a-kind beads vary in shape and size to create wearable art.  The colors have a saturated opaque feel that provides just the right color.
