leather &copper craft from kutch
February,24 2010
i like the bright leather handles combined with the copper bells.the copper bells have great sound.the metal bells are made by the kachchs muslim lohar community which continue to make this unique age old tradition which originated from sindh says the artisan.I was stunned by the sound that each bell make is different since this depends on the artisans skills the size shape of the bells body,the wooden strip hanging within the bell’s body and the curvature of the bells bottom rim.

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...........
