Weaves of Kashmir
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Under the Textile Heritage of India Module of Semester 4, this project started with an in-depth study of Kashmir Kani Shawls and concluded with developing its motifs and applying them to various surfaces.
Kashmir Kani shawls are the heritage textile of Kashmir. Kashmiri shawls have been at the heart of high fashion and sophistication for hundreds of years.
