TEJAS: A braided lampshade

The studio Braids of Joy is a making studio that helps to learn a lesser known, non-loom technique that is kept alive, celebrated and shared to us by Errol and Shubhra. The technique has enabled me to concentrate and increase my  patience level. The project was to make a product that incorporated the idea or function of light. In my product, the idea of light is through a filament bulb that is suspended from the ceiling and has braids for the aesthetics.
