About the Technique: Rock Dhokra and Fusion Dhokra are both experiments with the traditional Dhokra process. Rock Dhokra is our patented process of fusing stone and brass using the lost wax technique of metal casting. This fusion with stone had never happened in the 5000-year old history of metal art. At Devrai, we have done this after excessive research and experimentation with various types of stones.
Fusion Dhokra is the process of fusing brass with a wide range of materials like terracotta, ceramic, iron, copper, solidified molten earth etc. using the lost wax technique of metal casting.
