West Bengal is rich in handicrafts and with so many artisan clusters around , I need to decide the kind of craft and artisans I would like to work with. The pous mela in Shantiniketan would show me the path I have to traverse in the coming months.

Though I have visited these crafts shows for many years but this time it is with an aim to work with crafts people. The various artisans will be Kantha sarees, Dokra (brass artifacts), terracotta horses, leather bags,
Jute n bamboo products, hand loom silk with baluchari weave, wood carving, stone craft, conch shell and so on.
In search for artisans who would make nose studs, finger rings, anklets and bracelets for us in Dokra,
work with kantha craft on cushion covers, source tangail fabric (instead of sarees) for cushion covers.
New product ideas , meeting people with similar interest, clicking interesting pics to share.
Others interested in handicrafts of Bengal could join . Friends wanting to know about poush mela or handicrafts of Bengal may write to us. Will get back with more enthusiasm to tell you stories of BEAUTIFUL BENGAL.
