2.4.8 Kachchhi Weaving Art - Kachchh weaving was previously done entirely by hand using a Panja loom. Instead, today's craftspeople use shuttle looms. On the loom, the wrap is first prepared, then stretched and rolled onto a bobbin. The fabric is created on the loom at the end. The shapes of musical instruments, animals, and even everyday items are used to influence the designs in kachchhi weaving. 2.4.9 Plastic Weaving Art Every day, a large volume of plastic is wasted as industrial and domestic garbage in India's metro cities. Local waste collectors are hired to gather the plastic, which these craftspeople then purchase. This material is sorted and cleaned based on its quality and colour. This is then cleaned and chopped into long stripes before being spun into an industrial bobbin and then woven into large plastic textiles on standing looms. It's turned into a thick, dense weft patterned material that's linked and wrapped with nylon. Individual processes necessitate a separate and long area. The end product is used to make mats, bags, and cushions, among other things. This type of art helps the environment by repurposing waste plastic. 2.4.10Embroidery - Gujrat's traditional embroidery is well-known. It is one of the few crafts in which women participate. To show their own expression, several communities have their own stitching and motifs. Since ancient times, this art has been passed down from generation to generation. The artisan's residence in the village is the first concept that must be considered when planning the programme. The link between the rural artisan and the urban customer can be established by developing a retail outlet that meets both of their needs. The second point of contention is the demand for retail outlet space. The programme calls for a mixed-use development of residential and commercial activity, which will give the project an informal fee. (Jinal Shastri, 2018)
