There are things happening in MESH Design Studio.

Akanksha and Tushar NIFT interns in MESH Design Studio

Akanksha and Tushar, two interns from National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Bhopal are bringing together ranges for the embroiderers in Champa (see an interview with one of the Champa ladies on page 7 of MESH Newspaper) http://www.mesh.org.in/articles_181919.html.  Expect new things from MESH including clothing in lovely beautiful Little Flower silks. 

Sonu inspired and creating in MESH Design Studio

Sonu is in his final year at school with a desire to do fine arts after school.  He has come to us from Kiran Centre inVaranasi (www.kiranvillage.org) for two weeks exposure to Delhi and life in a design studio.  He usually lives with his friends in Kiran and is still struggling to find his level all alone here inDelhi.  It doesn’t seem to be negatively affecting his art work though.  We are off at the crack of dawn on Saturday to Humayan’s tomb for a bit of sketching before it gets too hot.  Maybe we shall get something that we can screen print onto bags…a great souvenir of Delhi.

Syamala is working with Jaspreet, another intern, on the preparation for a screen printing workshop for a group of young men with disabilities from a project run by GMR (the company that runs most of India’s airports).  We are hoping this will be the beginning of a very good relationship and lots of screen printing experimenting.

Watch this space for more.  It is so good to see the place buzzing.
