Celebrating crafts, by being a part of the daily life of the artisans, working with them, and learning the stories behind the designs was the main objective of this studio. The first exercises revolved around learning about the peers and representing their character through collage and storyboard. The storyboard was done by using pattachitra and kalighat as the main style. The field visits to Rajan Chaudary’s workshop, Surendranagar, Santhalpur, and Kutch helped us get a lot of exposure to the original art of crafts which helped us create the story box. This is an installation inspired by the journey of a cloth.
