Veyom

An absolutely incredible experience. I confess I knew nothing about this art form and had thought I wanted to spend my time learning textile crafts that had made their way to the mainstream (like block printing). The VAWAA team encouraged me to consider this trip instead, and I’m so glad they did. Chandrakant, Niral and their family are extraordinary artists, teachers, and I can now say, friends. Over five days, I learned the history, meaning, and techniques of this beautiful art form. And I am leaving with an art piece and stories I will cherish for many years to come.
