| Rajasthan- a Tactile Textile Tour 30 October- 18 November, 2010 Tutor- Fiona Wright Host- Parveen Nayak This is the tour our company started with, an adventure through the dramatic desert state of Rajasthan and beyond. We now include a visit to a wonderful old fort in Gurgurat where our host’s family were the rulers of the area for the past eight generations. Here we are looked after with their warm hospitality, wonderful kitchen and have a chance to peak at their breath-taking textile collection and time to incorporate some of our finds into some small felted "postcards" through a workshop with Fiona Wright. We squeeze in a visit to the Calico Museum in Ahmedabad before spending a few days like Kings at home in Udaipur. As always our tour has the opportunity for lots of hands-on activities- chundri [tie and dye], indigo dying with mud resist, block printing and a cooking class. A sunset camel [or camel cart] safari before dinner and gypsy dancing, mighty forts and palaces, serene temples, bustling market places the list of new experiences seems endless. As they say- “In India, madam/sir anything is possible!” click about Fiona and Parveen email fiona@creative-arts-safaris.com to be kept up to date Future tours will follow a similar itinerary. |
