ABOUT CHANNAPATNA TOYS

The need to develop and support the handicraft community is necessary and immediate. It is essential for the development of the local communities at the grass – root level and for sustaining the dying crafts and traditions, which have been passed down generations.

CHANNAPATNA TOYS was born from the seed of this thought and is driven by our love for the handcrafted. We believe that every contribution, no matter how small, helps and that supporting crafts, artisans and artists must be a conscious decision.

Within the heart of India, in its villages, the men and women create unique craft pieces using the naturally available resources around them. We work closely with the artisans to understand their techniques, and create unique and sustainable items, with emphasis on innovative, eye catching designs and superior quality. We believe in fair compensation for the artisans, and create an environment where the artisans and their craft is respected and celebrated.

HANDCRAFTING OF WOODEN TOYS

Channapatna toys are a particular form of wooden toys and dolls that are manufactured in the town of Channapatna in the Ramanagara district of Karnataka state, India. This traditional craft is protected as a geographical indication (GI) under the World Trade Organization, administered by the Government of Karnataka. As a result of the popularity of these toys, Channapatna is known as the Gombegala Ooru (toy-town) of Karnataka. Traditionally, the work involved lacquering the wood of the Wrightia tinctoria tree, colloquially called Aale mara (ivory-wood).

HANDCRAFTING OF WOODEN TOYS

MANUFACTURING

The craft has diversified over time; in addition to the traditional ivory-wood, other woods—including rubber, sycamore, cedar, pine and teak—are now used as well. Manufacturing stages include procuring the wood, seasoning the wood, cutting the wood into the desired shapes, pruning and carving the toys, applying the colours and finally polishing the finished product. Vegetable dyes are used in the colouring process to ensure that the toys and dolls are safe for use by children.
