If you have admired and loved Indian handicrafts, you can now try your hand at making these. To coincide with their craft and textile exhibition, Paramparik Karigar and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) have organised workshops where you can learn crafts
Over the next two weeks Mumbaikars will get a unique opportunity to learn crafts including Phad, Bandhani and embroideries such as Soof and Kantha from master craftsmen. Over a fortnight, the workshops will spread awareness about these craft forms and offer a hands-on experience.
“It is challenging to organise such workshops where most people have no clue about our traditional arts and crafts and we have to keep samples of crafts at the museum to show people. The aim is to make people feel pride and respect, for our rich and diverse heritage of arts and crafts,” said Reshma Sett, managing committee member of Paramparik Karigar.
