Matsya...A Journey To Traditional Indian Crafts

I love our own rich traditional handicrafts...My quest to collect the beautiful colourful pieces introduced me to a online craft place...Matsya....the founder is a bridge between rural artisans and urban customers and is providing platform to crafts and fulfilling the appetite of contemporary tastebuds of customers.Neha Gandhi the name behind is an artist,a potter and a craft lover.The student of J.J school of arts Mumbai and Studio pottery at Pondicherry, is now trying to preserve,revive and expand the richness of classic art of Gujarat and Maharashtra.Neha organises crafts tour,undertakes crafts documentation,works with NGOs and is trying to get trade fair certification.
Matsya is a team of marketers, design enthusiasts,art lovers and wellwishers working together.When I went through her work online I loved the pieces and i am sure u would too.....finger puppets, danglerstrings ,jadu patta crafts, paper masche crafts ,fridge magnets, madhubani arts,ceramic urlis, coloured teracotta lamps, warli paintings, kaavad and lots and lots of bright chunky pieces of healthy crafts.
