'A Living Legacy: Textiles of Gujarat'

What or where is Bhujodi? What does mud have to do with printing? Are vegetables the only natural dyes? Is size all that matters in making bandhani fine? What is the difference between Patan and Rajkot Patola, apart from price? Why are hand-embroidered dowries almost extinct?

Radhi Parekh, a Visual Communications graduate from the National Institute of Design (NID), with a career spanning two decades over three continents, founded ‘ARTISANS’ in 2011

The ARTISANS’ Centre is a dynamic space where craft and design art converge’. ARTISANS’ Gallery, Studio, and Shop support the revival, sustenance and growth of traditional to path-breaking design. 

Join us to learn more about Gujarat's textile-rich traditions, and take a fresh look at our living legacy - and your wardrobe!

Note: The centre is located on the first floor, and there is no lift.
