Delhi Crafts Council is pleased to be partnering with for the Tyeb Mela (2nd May, 2pm-8pm at KNMA Saket) where our artisans from Pilakhua and Alwar will be showcasing wood craft and terracotta.

About our Artisans
——————————
Arshad Kafeel
————————
Arshad Kafeel is the son of Sardar Hussain, a renowned block maker from
Pilkhuwa, U.P. Working alongside his father, Arshad has picked up the
intricacies of the craft. After his father’s death Arshad has been responsible for
sustaining the workshop and marketing many of the new designs in bazaars
all over the country. He is a recipient of the Smt. Pingle Kamala Reddy Sanmaan
in 2025 awarded by the Crafts Council of Telangana for the excellence of his craft.

Karan Singh
Karan Singh is from Ramgarh, a village in Alwar district in Rajasthan. Both his parents are traditional potters and Karan Singh’s early training was on the wheel from his father and designing from his mother.
 
 
His elder brother Om Prakash, a well known terracotta artist, has also had a great influence on his craft. Karan learnt the technique of fine cutwork on terracotta from him as well as the difficult and laborious process of double casting very thin products in terracotta. Karan is the recipient of the Kamaladevi Puraskar of Delhi Crafts Council in 2016

As many of our fellow craft lovers may know, Dastkar Delhi had a devastating fire on the morning of the 15th of March. While no lives were lost, many artisans lost all their stocks and the impact on their livelihood is immense.

If you would like to help Dastkar Delhi, please follow the link on their bio for information on how you can help.
