In keeping with its objective of spreading knowledge about Indian Arts and Crafts, Paramparik Karigar conducts Craft Workshops and Lectures Demonstration by Master Craftsmen in schools and colleges across Mumbai, which aim to create familiarity and from there an interest in our rich Handicraft traditions.
Paramparik Karigar also partners with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya Museum in Mumbai to hold similar workshops for the general public. On invitation our karigars have conducted workshops in institutions and at programmes across the country and even abroad. The workshops close to our heart have been those with social impact, like the Intense Workshops for underprivileged daughters of sex workers , the Workshops for the differently abled at Shraddha and the National Association For Blind. Now during this pandemic Paramparik Karigar has taken the workshops online. We are delighted to state that these online workshops have been well received and run to a full house. Registration details and other relevant information about our online workshops are available on our Social Media handles and on this website under workshops.
Our projects have always given us an opportunity to work and experiment with different mediums and art forms.
