Ethos Of Kutch
We got an opportunity to interact and work with several immensely skilled artisans from Kutch. We visited the village of Zura, where we observed the working techniques and environment of the artisans practicing the crafts of Metal Bell making and Leather accessories, and the village of Nirona where we observed the artisans practicing the craft of Wood and Lacquer Turnery.
The objective was to address contemporary needs through their traditional crafts.
The Craft Workshop introduced us to the rich craft sector in our Nation. We understood the various techniques involved and the monumental amount of skill that these artisans possess. We also experienced their working situations. This enabled us to be sensitive towards the constraints and needs within the sector.
