Process of making Bidriware: The process of making products in accordance to the Bidri art form involves a number of steps. These are detailed as under. Casting the alloy: A mould is prepared out of a mix of resin, castor oil, and soil. Molten metal alloy of zinc and copper, taken in the ratio of 16:1, is poured into this mould. Based on the product design, various metal castings may have to be welded together in order to get the final single product. Buffing:The rough surface of the mould is filed in order to give it a smooth texture Drawing the design:In order to obtain a temporary black hue, copper sulphate is applied on the shiny surface. This way, the craftsmen find it easier to draw neat, clear designs. A metal stylus is used for etching the design on to the surface of the mould Engraving the design:With the help of a chisel, the design is carved out Inlaying:Inlay work depends on the design and is of two types- wire work or sheet work. Wires or sheets of pure silver are hammered on to the engraved grooves with precision. The surface is then buffed and smoothened so that there is no extra silver jutting out. Once the product has been completely filed, the entire surface regains its white appearance. At this point, the silver inlay work is hardly visible Oxidizing:This is something unique to the Bidri art form. Soil from the Bidar Fort is mixed with boiling water and ammonium chloride in order to get a solution. On applying this solution to the surface of the product, the zinc-copper alloy turns jet black but the silver engravings remain unaffected. This black color is permanent and there is no risk of it fading away Bidriware Designs: The Bidriware designs are usually patterns such as the Asharfi-ki-booti, stars, vine creepers and stylized poppy plants with flowers.Traditional designs of Bidri Crafts include the Persian Rose and passages from the Quran in Arabic script.
