TEXTILE INNOVATOR | KOLKATA
I have always been invested in the principle of handloom. Not just for the economic ecosystem it fosters, but also its inherent slowness. The employment of one powerloom weaver leads to loss of employment for seven handloom weavers.
Through a global education in textiles I developed a passion for subverting traditional techniques by manipulating and melding multiple crafts to create these special artisanal textiles.
“The founding intention of Weavers Studio was and remains to work with as many hands as possible. There is an artisan for every step of the process who makes an integral contribution towards the final outcome. It is about value creation and recognising that.”
