Artisans

Our artisan designers

At Design Craft, it is our consistent endeavour to sustain art traditions so that both the art and the artisans flourish through generations.
Artisans gifted with centuries of ancient craft who have graduated from the Somaiya Institute of Education for artisans are called ‘artisan designers’. A coinage that was made possible by the institute’s magnanimity in offering holistic design education to the artisans.
