Chennai hosts Crafts Council of India’s Tari-The Loom showcase on March 7 and 8

The Hindu  

The length and breadth of the country is home to a plethora of textiles; all indicative of a range of craftsmanship and skill. As the late textile revivalist Martand Singh said, as long as that unstitched fabric remains in abundance and usage, all is well,” says Bela Mistry Khaleeli, vice chairperson, CCI. Benaras saris created by award-winning weavers who have revived the jamdani style of weaving on Benaras saris will be the highlight of the brand Nilambari’s collection, and Unma by Sapna will have handcrafted tussar silk saris with designs inspired by tribal tattoo art crafted from natural fibres and hand spun yarn. The Tari showcase will be focussed on an amalgamation of India’s artisanal skills through summer centric textiles, says Jayasri Samyukta, executive committee member, CCI. Tari —the loom by Crafts Council of India will be held on March 7 and 8 from 10am to 7pm at WelcomHotel by ITC, Cathedral road.
