In the first semester of my M.Des, we had the course - Crafts, Cultures, and Habitat Studies, and as a part of this, we got to explore Jaipur’s rich crafts and culture. We spent time with the artisans practicing Thathera craft, a traditional metalworking art. Talking to them, we heard their stories—about their craft, their struggles, and their daily lives. Inspired by our experience, we created a book capturing everything we learned and discovered.
