Artisans by Design Book Launch
Saturday, Nov 30
10 am - 11 am
On Saturday, author Judy Frater presents her new book, Artisans by Design. The book chronicles the journey of developing the first design school for artisans in India. Spanning 50 years, the story is told in vignettes of artisans who were part of the journey, intertwined with the author’s story.
To make this talk all that more meaningful, artisans Adil Khatri and Pachan Siju, both graduates from the design school, will also be present to share their experiences.
Through the book, Judy provides a fresh approach to development, illuminates sustainability as cultural heritage and presents development as human.
We are beyond thrilled to host this trio at Living Threads and celebrate work that has made a lasting and gorgeous impact.
