Exploring the Evolution of Traditional Wood Crafts: Himachal Pradesh as a Case Study
Pubblico DepositedContenuto scaricabile
open in viewerWood carving is a traditional practice of Himachal Pradesh, utilized in temple and home architecture, religious artifacts, and furniture making. However, with contemporary changes in tastes and demands as well as globalization, the craft and its artisans face many challenges. We interviewed local artisans and experts in the field to understand the history and current state of wood carving in terms of challenges faced and current market contexts. Based on this information, we designed a product that could potentially be marketable, and then sought professional feedback on this product. We recommend continuing work on developing a marketable product, emphasizing the value of wood craft through marketing, and supporting organizations who work towards promoting wood carvers.
