I dont have a big article to write.So I thought I will send you a mail regarding my concerns on Homogenization of aestheic sense in traditional crafts. Homogenization of traditional crafts.
One of the biggest threat to the traditional craft practices is the homogenization in aesthetics, products and motifs happening at a fast rate due to our insensitive interventions.
This needs to be addressed at various levels.
May be we should begin a dialogue to find out the causes and the solutions.
I feel that the design education needs an input on cultural sensitivity and the artisanal ways of crafting things especially the aesthetic element.
The handicraft organizations involved in the development of craft- both the funders and the NGO’s must be made aware of this.
I was in Srinagar last month where I found designer asking the artisan to make motifs of startfish and sea horse and I have seen this happening in Kutch, Orissa etc

I am based out of New York. I also have an office in Delhi. We have recently started our company and plan to import Indian home goods into the US market. I was wondering if you could help us with contact details (including phone numbers) of weavers from banaras and other states or if you could recommend a few that specialise in products such as bed covers, cushion covers, table runners, table mats etc. We are looking for elegant and exclusive home products Look forward to hearing from you.

I work at the Royal AB Museum in Edmonton as the Metis interpreter for the Aboriginal Gallery. I am also an Artisan of traditional crafts using porcupine quills, moose hair, fish scales...recently have been asked to do a replica of a fire bag from the 1800s.To try and be accurate to the time period I am using 100% wool, cotton, silk... The problem I am having is I need to dye the cotton lining and I am looking for natural dyes that I can purchase. I would also like to use natural dyes for my quills, moose hair and fish scales. Do you sell natural dyes? and if so how can I purchase some?
