Final Product.
Himachal Pradesh has been consistent in impressing the world with its vibrant yet simplistic style of Folk-art like Chamba embroidery, Pahari painting, Mohra metalwork, Buddhist woodwork, Tibetan folk dance, and varieties of handicraft products. Hence we can find numerous training camps and workshops across the state offering lessons on a specific art form. Sobha Singh Art Gallery and Museum is one such gem from Andretta village. Mrs. Kamaljit Kaur, a learned veteran, is the one who runs the center. She is involved in craft making like Quilling work and Yarn birds making. Quilling is a beautiful paper art of rolling narrow strips of paper and gluing them to create well-designed ornamentation. This fun to do paperwork creates decorative designs and patterns for accessories, wall hangings, and other decorative items. Here even the very few raw materials used are extremely cheap. This initiative has largely encouraged the natives to learn a skill and earn a good living out of it. Following is the making process of paper quilling earrings.
