Same Same, But Different: The Dokra Trail to Rings28 - Softcover

As a designer of jewellery Johanna Dahm seeks contact with other areas of expertise, builds bridges between the cultures and in that way further develops her own artistic work. While on a research trip she familiarised herself in East Indian Orissa with the special characteristics of the Dokra technique, a cire perdue method of casting used apart from here only in West Africa. "Same Same, But Different" thoroughly describes and documents this technique in detail for the first time from a professional point of view. Following up on her first publication "Lost and Found", the book offers at the same time a comparative study of the techniques used in Orissa and Ghana. It comes with a scientific essay by Prof. Hans Peter Hahn.
