Visiting Artisans and studying the arts of Kutch

So much of our work is keeping the old alive in the new designs. The value of the textiles and handcrafts are dependent upon keeping the folk crafts alive, yet bringing economic opportunity and sustainability in marketable products. Understanding the true essence and documenting tribal designs helps us understand the work better and have better communications with the artisans.
