About the Seminar

Partners and Collaborators

Crafts have been an inherent part of the Indian society ever since mankind came into existence. Over the period of time, craft became an extension of the community where it originated from and provided it with a cultural identity, thereby taking form of various craft traditions in different parts of our nation. In the complete gamut of sustaining our craft traditions, two factors that hold prime importance are - The Karigar (craftsperson) and his Karigari (skillfulness). The National Craft Seminar 2015- ‘Karigari: Crafting the Future’ celebrates the impeccable skilfulness of the Indian craftspeople who give shape to the numerous celebrated craft forms of our nation. This seminar looks towards the future of the karigari of the Indian karigar, by holding discussions on topics like Craft Design Collaborations, Craft in Interior Architecture and Entrepreneurship and Market Perspectives.
