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.


Sufiyan Khatri

Sufiyan Khatri is an artisan hailing from India whose family has been practicing the traditional skill of hand block Ajrakh print for 10 generations. The use of color, layout and pattern give gesture and movement of a landscape to their designs. His interest lies in overcoming these limitations and fostering design collaborations to attract designers from around the world to work with the Ajrakh craft by introducing new color combinations, block designs and patterns suitable to their market needs.
