Rabari Embroidery Class
July 30 - 31 at the PNNAG Office
The Rabari artisans of Kutch, India are part of
the Kala Raksha, a social enterprise working with traditional textile arts in
the desert region of Kutch. Kutch is world renowned for its mirrored
embroideries. Most of these were traditionally stitched by village women
for themselves and their families to create festivity, honor deities, or
generate wealth. Embroideries contributed to the substantial economic
exchange required for marriage and fulfilled other social obligations which
required gifts. Currently, Kala Raksha works with six distinct hand
embroidery style: the Sindh-Kutch regional style of Suyf, Khaarek and
paako, and the ethnic styles of Rabari, Garasia Jat and Mutava. For more
