I am passionate about this community and the embroidery they do,i came to know that theylived in Halaf area in Iran
About 500 years ago, these shepherds called Jats abroaded from Halaf to Sindh and Kutch in search of newgrazing lands. There are three types of Jats in Kutch: Dhanetah Jats, Fakirani Jats and Garasia Jats.
Jat women plan and create beautiful and manual embroidery. The power of Jat embroidery approaches mostly from the closely stitched pattern that completely plasters the cloth.
Jat women are busy in house work, preparing fodder for the cattle in addition preparing food for their men. Today, Jat women are famous for their microscopic mirror work embroidery that has found a prepared marketplace.

About Me
Hi, I am Neha - an artist, a potter and a crafts' lover. My travails with arts and crafts began by dabbling with paint and colour since my teens Studying Fine Arts at Sir J.J School of Arts , Mumbai and then Studio pottery at Golden Bridge Pottery, Pondicherry intensified my love for the subject and honed my skills as well. I embarked on my journey by working extensively in Gujarat and Maharshtra. My own contributions and learnings from others helped me gain myriad experiences and sharpen a multiple set of skills in the sector. Now based in Mumbai, I continue with the passion to express my creativity through arts and crafts.... through 'Matsya'. This blog is about Matsya and our journey has begun...........
