Traditional craft

Ancestral skills,
living techniques

Repousé is our foundation — but the Tamrakar workshop has always offered a full range of Newar metalcraft disciplines, each practiced with tools and methods passed down through the family.

• i.
  Repousé & Chasing — Copper & Brass Our core art. Metal is shaped from the reverse using punches and hammers, building three-dimensional relief images of deities, mandalas, and traditional motifs. Each piece can take days to complete.
• ii.
  Monasteries & Temple Metalwork Custom-crafted prayer wheels, pinnacle (Gajur), stupas,Deer set (Dharmachakra and Deer), incense burners, butter lamps, and temple ornaments for Buddhist and Hindu shrines — made to order using traditional measurements and iconographic rules.
• iii.
  Decorative items & Wall Art Large-format copper roofing featuring Patan's iconic temple motifs, peacock designs, and narrative scenes — for homes, hotels, and collectors worldwide.
• iv.
  Custom & Bespoke Commissions Bespoke work designed to a client's specification — portraits, architectural ornaments, corporate gifts, and commemorative pieces crafted entirely by hand.
