Stories Sarees Tell...

The saree tells you a myriad of stories: stories of the maker, stories of its origin, stories of the art and its history, stories of the journey it undertakes from the time the seeds of the yarn are sowed to the person who finally wears it. This workshop was an attempt to unravel these very stories and create awareness of this tedious yet beautiful process.

We saw a few instruments used in the different stages of weaving and the weaving process of sarees through videos.

We also saw the evolution of a few motifs, evolution of the drape to its current form - the saree. Identification of different techniques in a saree that showcases the workmanship and skill of the artisans was one of the most interesting parts of the workshop.

The world of textiles is unimaginably vast and it was absolutely delightful to discuss a little spec through this highly interactive workshop. Thank you Elsa Aanchal Sagar for the journey, your passion and dedication is palpable!
