Illustrated talk by Ms. Geetha Rao | 5pm

Over June–August, The Crafts Council of Karnataka worked with artisans in Kinhal, Koppal, on an intensive two-month Design Development Workshop.

Moving beyond skill training, the focus was on design intervention, adding finesse and contemporary twists to traditional Kinhal painted woodware, while staying rooted in its 500-year-old legacy.

These reimagined pieces are now ready to be showcased in Bengaluru.

Fantastical flowers - real and imagined. 🌸
Woven, painted, embroidered and printed by hand. From the winding vines of Kalamkari to the blurred blooms of Ikat, from resist-dyed petals to extra-weft blossoms, every craft reimagines the timeless motif of the flower in its own way.

Step into a garden of textiles at Vastrabharana 2025.
