Coconut Shell Craft

Coconut Shell Craft is a unique Indian art form that transforms discarded coconut shells into a variety of practical and decorative items. Artisans meticulously clean, cut, carve, and polish these durable shells, sometimes incorporating other materials, to create everything from kitchenware and bowls to lamps, jewelry, and intricate showpieces. Originating in India's coastal regions, where coconuts are plentiful, this craft evolved from making simple utility items to elaborate art, showcasing a blend of resourcefulness and artistic skill. It highlights sustainable practices, turning natural waste into beautiful, eco-friendly products that reflect India's rich cultural heritage and the ingenuity of its artisans.
