The Crafts Council of Karnataka was started in Bangalore in 1967 to promote and support the crafts of Karnataka. The non-profit organisation provides a bridge between craft communities and source markets; and facilitates design intervention and product development to meet the needs of the contemporary consumer. The Crafts Council of Karnataka is affiliated to the Crafts Council of India and the World Crafts Council.
We collaborated with the Crafts Council of Karnataka to create their marketing collateral–including invitations, badges and signage–for their annual exhibition, Vastrabharana 2019, in Mumbai. The profits from Vastrabharana are used to support craft communities in Karnataka.
