Detailed Description

The focus area of this project is to look at how we can develop new designs and reposition the craft products to a higher market segment by combining the craft with technology and how this can lead to the betterment of the craft community of India and the livelihood conditions of the craftsperson. There are two primary aspects to this project: craft and technology. They are the two different ends of the spectrum. Craft products are generally very low-tech, and all the high-tech products have zero connection to the craft. Combining craft and technology will work for each other’s advantage. This will place craft products onto a new market segment and attract a broader range of user groups.
