My dad is in his second year as a Weaving Artisan. He would insist he's still a beginner, but he is turning out some beautiful work.
I stopped by the Center last week and took a few photos of work in progress. Then yesterday I was able to catch some shots of finished work, which was beautifully on display for the open house sale this weekend. Info, hours and location of the sale are at weavingcenter.org/sales.html.
Some photos taken with my Canon PowerShot SX50, others with my Samsung Galaxy S4. I was pleasantly surprised at the Samsung results. Still, after post-processing with Lightroom I felt something was still missing. So I then additionally processed them in Picasa. To most shots I added "Glow" and "I'm Feeling Lucky."
Conversation with Khatri Adil Mustak (Bandhani artisan), Khatri Zakiya Adil (Bandhani artisan), Khalid Usman Khatri (Ajrakh artisan), Pachan Premji Siju (Weaver) and Prakash Naranbhai Siju ( Weaver) on why is design education important and how has it helped them change their lives. Few of them used to do job-work earlier and struggled with making ends meet. Its their true story - wherein education helped them see light at the end of the tunnel.
"Our approach towards designing a product has changed. We now use one idea of design and create about 10 different product, each very different from the other. This has happened because of the exposure we got while learning the basics of colour, design and themes at Somaiya Kala Vidya" shared all the artisans unanimously.
All five of these artisans have earned accolades for their designs and work. What keeps them going is their passioon to create something new and challenging every single time.
"Customers want something new every time. We want to cater to the changing demands of consumers and offer a product that is not just modern but also is true to our heritage" shared Zakiya Adil Khatri, a bandhani artisan.
In the current times when the riding slogan is “Vocal for Local”, we as consumers need to educate ourselves on the back-story of making of each craft to appreciate the skill, time and talent. Only then, will we be able to truly appreciate the price and value of the product.
Listen to this video and do share if you too were touched the passion, energy and curiosity of these bunch of artisans.
