In this episode, we speak to Textile Designer Aditi Jain. Aditi tells us about her decision to pursue a career in textiles and the learnings picked up during her course.
She takes us through the process of designing and making handloom textiles at Gandhigram where she currently works.
She talks about the subject of textiles as both art and science, and gives an example of the story beneath the surface of a fabric.
We discuss the barriers that prevent traditional textiles from mass adoption and the relevance of khadi in today’s context
