Скачать или смотреть A fusion of traditional Tarakashi Art with lifestyle inspired design aesthetics

Origin of the Tarakashi Art form

This highly skilled art form of Tarakashi is more than 500 years old and is traditionally done by local artisans on the Eastern shores of Odisha. Presently, the silver filigree workers are largely from the district of Cuttack, where the art flourishes.

A dying art is being revived with fusion fashion jewelry

Though rightly revered once, the Tarakasi art form is experiencing a slow death. The primary reason for the decline is not due to demand for the craft but the lack of a new generation of craftsmen in the trade. The new generation is unaware of the potential of the craft largely in the national and international market as well as are not well trained in the latest techniques and tools.

What we are doing - training a NEW generation of craftsmen

To ensure the next generation of Tarakashi craftsmen, our workshop has opened doors to the ones who want to learn the ancient craft. We also train fellow newcomers in the usage of modern tools and techniques of the trade.

Creating jewellery with modern lifestyle aesthetics

What we are trying to do is to give the art a new lease of life with fusion handcrafted fashion jewellery. These jewellery bear the intricate patterns of ancient art while being young and modern in aesthetics. The lifestyle influenced designs are contemporary and can be paired with regular/fashion wears.
