Work Enviornment
The view of working environment gives the idea of how the work is carried out. Raw materials on one side, working craftsmen, tools used, view of complete and incomplete structures. In one case it was seen that the craftsman divides his work area into two parts:
• Sculpting area
• Back yard for display
Though the backyard was small the craftsman had used this space efficiently to display his sculptures for visitors to see and purchase. He blended his contemporary work with his traditional work and this way he could portray his capability to cater different and new requirements.
