Like Victoria Terminus

Like Victoria Terminus in here today!  Two young men who are hearing impaired are here with Vimal, and Reenu from the GMR project.  They are all screen printing like mad.

A pretty pink and green tablecloth

A zanny single bedspread and all to learn about placements. 

Vimal has really taken to the work asking to come in on Saturday and learn something new.  He has the most horrible leg injury from a truck accident and is awaiting his thrid operation so he is trying to learn as much as possibe before he has to go back into hospital.  Their GMR volunteer is busy making a poster of the methods of screen printing and either of the interns at any time joins him in his stenciling.

Then Sonam Palkit from PAGIR, Leh is still busy finishing of the new products developed with Ashok using tailor’s waste.  Today her focus is hair bands…

Sonam fully focussed

There are also four members of Kiran Swa Sahitya Samuah back here working with our NIFT interns on a range of kosa silk embroidered cushions and runners for the festive season. 

In action on a new idea

The techniques are new and layering of silk promises some very interesting results.
