Meet and Greet

Hello Amorette!

As a visual communication student, my fascination with art extends beyond traditional boundaries to encompass textiles. Colors, exploring the narratives, and unraveling their history has consistently captivated me. Consequently, I am driven to broaden my understanding across various artistic domains, seeking to immerse myself in diverse realms of creativity.

Thanks & Regards,

Vartika Gupta.

Hello!

I am Rohini and am a Fashion Design student based in New York. I was sent this course by my mother since we’re both greatly interested in Indian Textile History and I would love to learn more about it, due to our personal interest in it but also because of the themes I’m exploring for my thesis work! 🙂

Hi Amorette,

This is Saru. I’m an HR by profession and, an art enthusiast by passion.
Happy to be part of this community and sure do hope to learn a lot via this course.

Hello everyone, Myself Pranjal I’m a design student just starting out in the real world. Even though I have no professional connection to textiles and fabrics, I am inspired by Indian textiles very much and adore it with all my attention. I have always been curious about it and hence this course. I hope to get to learn new things and have a great time with y’all here!

Hello everyone,

I am Vaibhavi and I work in the publishing industry. I am a passionate fashion enthusiast and my love for textiles has been influenced by the women in my family. I am thrilled to be a part of this course and hope it helps enhance my knowledge and understanding of the history of fabrics. Thank you!

Hi,

I am a television producer and I have been fascinated by our textile traditions ever since I filmed with weavers in Varanasi and Sambhalpur in 2005. I hope to get a more structured understanding through this course.

Hello, I am Harshita and I joined this course to fuel my interest in textiles and it has been informative so far. I do have a question: I am having a bit of trouble understanding how to answer drag and drop questions. I think I rearranged the tabs in the order but the answer was still shown as wrong, do guide me about the same, thanks!

Hello everyone! I am Bhavya Gaur and I recently completed my masters from SOAS, University of London. During my time in London, I got an excellent opportunity to research on the collection of textiles in Museum Rietberg, Switzerland which introduced me to the beautiful and colorful world of South Asian textiles. I enrolled in this course to learn basics things about techniques and their history which will be foundational for me as an aspiring Art History scholar.

Hello All, My name is Dale and I am from Canada. I have been fascinated with South Asian textiles for many years and now I welcome the opportunity to learn more in a structured setting through this MAP course.

Hello! I am Devika and I am currently a full-time art student in the UK, completing a Foundation Art and Design Diploma. I am of Indian heritage on my mother’s side and have always been interested in South Asian art forms. As a part of my course, I am required to explore Fine Art, Graphic Design, and Textiles, the last of which I am currently experimenting with (and have had no prior experience with). Therefore, I feel that this MAP course will be extremely helpful in allowing me to have a broader understanding of textiles, with a particular focus on South Asia, which is beneficial for me, elevating and aiding whatever I do using textiles during my diploma.

Hi , I am Tanya I just completed my graduation from history background and trying to navigate my way through it to find what branch of history is more interesting and attracting to me that’s why I joined this course and also to gain some more knowledge

Looking forward to the course

Hello!

My name is Rajasi Patil and I’m a textile artist. My interests lie in experimenting with unconventional materials and processes on the loom to achieve striking surface effects and textures. I gravitate towards textiles because it, conceptually and practically, allows me to meditate on their fragility as a form. I approach my work with an attitude towards making, that is very process led, learning by doing. I intend to continue my practise by pushing/ exploring the boundaries of the traditional craft, studying its historical and cultural significance. Textiles are a huge part of our daily lives, and I believe understanding the various processes and learning about the rich history of textiles in our country, is crucial for every maker and consumer, especially in todays world, helping us contemplate and regain sensitivity towards our surroundings.
