More life in life through Craft : Culture C@nnect Mantra

Craft is something in between art and life … something which is abstract, creative and yet concrete. Immersing oneself in creating craft forms adds an element of fun and fantasy in life.

Traditional craft skills have been the prerogative of artisans, which typically pass from one generation to another. Working with communities specialized in craft forms is one way to reclaim and revive crafts. We feel that there is more we can do to make craft more mainstream. Introduce Craft in a new avatar which our gaming-tweeting- facebooking generation of today can enjoy.
Co-Creation through workshops
Workshops are a great medium and we believe that is an excellent tool to contextualize craft – develop skills that enable each of us to create practical solutions, work individually and in teams, develop visual awareness, appreciate the relationship of craft and the environment. Above all, give all of us a starting point for leisure pursuits that we might engage in for the rest of our lives.

We will be organizing a series of workshops on different craft forms РMacram̩, Flower making, Paper Mache, Knitting, Painting techniques, pottery, embroidery , weaving and more.

Keep logging on our blog to know the schedule of upcoming workshops.
