Description
Lotus Links, the 2004 Craft & Skill Exchange Workshop by Dastkari Haat Samiti, brought together artisans from India and Vietnam at Dilli Haat, INA, New Delhi. This meaningful cultural interaction gave rise to a completely new range of handcrafted products, exploring creative possibilities that had not been tried before.
With a focus on shared craft development goals, the workshop encouraged artisans to learn from one another, co-create, and exchange design techniques. The result was a deeper understanding of traditional art forms and the creation of innovative designs suited for new markets.
