Handicrafts

Something that sets India apart from the rest of the world is her Handicrafts. Indian handicrafts are beautiful, artistically strong and priceless. There's magic in the hands of the simple craftsmen from small villages who devote their lives in creating exquisite hand crafted products.

I consider myself fortunate to have got an opportunity to work with some of the most skilled, talented and creative craftsmen from Tamil Nadu.

Veerapur, a small village in the interiors of Tamil Nadu is popular for its Terracotta products. I had one of the best experiences working there with those sweet craftsmen. What I found fascinating is how the little children who belonged to the families there also knew the art of skillfully rotating the wheel and creating beautiful terracotta crafts from it. They were as perfect as their parents.

My lack of knowledge in Tamil luckily did not become a hindrance in the workshop. The love and support of the craftsmen and other villagers helped me successfully complete the project with some of the most amazing designs.

Today, sitting here infront of my computer, I miss those days when I had tea with those people in earthen tea cups and had local Dosas and played with the little children there, sat in their beautiful farms under huge mango trees to beat the heat.

I am,thus, adding some of the products that I developed there

Apart from the Terracotta project, I also did a Bell Metal project in this small place called Nacherkoil in Tamil Nadu which is well known for its Bell Metal products.

Below are two of the designs that I developed there.
