The crafts
Each of these comes from a different part of India and was made for a different reason. I work in all four, by hand, from one studio in Gurugram. Lippan or Madhubani?
Lippan art, also called mud-and-mirror work, is a relief craft from the Kutch region of Gujarat. Raised patterns are built up by hand in clay and set with small mirrors, which catch and spread whatever light a room has. It was first used on the interior walls of bhungas, the round mud houses of Kutch.
