TEXTILE – SURFACE DÉCOR

Textiles represent cultures and traditions, life, dreams and creativity of makers and so much more. They are art forms carrying messages from the universe generation after generation. The art of ornamenting & decorating the surface of a fabric by hand is soul-fulfilling to makers and becomes precious possession for many. Here we have, the makers offering precious possessions.
