Not so long ago, when the
surge for industrialization gained momentum, the focus
shifted to the modernization and mechanization of
industries across the country. In the haste to catch up
with the rest of the world, the tradition, handicraft
and culture of India, which had always been her trump
card, received a setback. This caused the exodus of
artisans to other countries, mainly the Gulf. India
began witnessing a depletion of her craftsmen. During
these times, there were a few who strove to preserve the
heritage, with Creative Crafts of India, being a pioneer
in this field.
Stone is Crafted by Nature, We add Beauty to it.
The ordinary formless
stone becomes the very manifestation of divinity under
the skilled hands of the traditional craftsman. The
traditional craftsman relies more on his spiritual
senses and less on the aesthetics imparting a
distinctive power of suggestiveness in the sculpted
forms. Consequently the handicraft seems to come to life
before one's eyes.
