This booklet illustrates the Black Elephant’s complex process of creating the highest-quality lacquerware using their unique technologies based on traditional techniques.
These intricate stages are part of Veronica Gritsenko’s unique craft, which is different from other lacquerware processes of different quality or artistry. It took her seven years of research and experimentation to revive the highest quality lacquer that for many reasons had been lost. The technology that she has revived is recorded in a publication that she presented at the Lacquer Symposium held in Buffalo, New York in 2013.
All photographs in this booklet were taken at the Black Elephant Studio workshop in Bagan.
