Biography
Brass cast the way temples have for centuries.
Thushara learned sand casting from his uncle and specialises in oil lamps, bells and ritual ware. He still polishes every piece by hand.
The Craft Story
Brass work needs both strength and a delicate touch. After casting, each piece is chased with hand tools to bring out its detail.
