STEP 1 : Procure the Base
  • We are going to make an aesthetic Dokra Art Fish Candle Holder.  

  • Dokra is an ancient metal-casting art form that originated in the tribal regions of India.  

  • Start by building a fish-like shape from the newspaper.  

  • Attach the small tissue roll to the top of the fish. Make sure that it fits well inside the body of the fish. 

 

STEP 2 : Wrap the base
  • Cover the fish structure of the newspaper with masking tape. 

  • Use Fevicryl Fabric Glue all over the masking tape.  

  • Refer the image. 

STEP 3 : Prepare the clay fish shape
  • Take Fevicryl Mouldit Resin and Hardener. Mix well to make an even dough.  

  • Take the dough and shape it to make the fish. 

  • Spread the clay evenly around the tape.  

  • Carve lines, and edges and decorate the fish using Clay Modelling Tools.  

  • Stick the coils and shapes and create the details of the tealite holder. 

  • Refer to the image. 

STEP 4 : Paint the Fish Clay Structure
  • Paint the base of the structure with Fevicryl Acrylic Black Colour  02.
