We stopped, paused & unlearnt to take back an enriching experience. We enjoyed the local food, folk music, people , amazed to see the artisans, crafts, costumes the landscapes,sunsets and the list could go on & on. We shopped like never before yes they were crazy travelers. They were wanderers, blogger’s photographers, who never wanted to come back. I look forward for more rural travelers to join us for the next season’s craft tours. Till then stay connected …..

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...........

The craft tour in Kuchchh with matsya was a truly fantastic experience.
I was amazed by the beauty of this part of the country, the friendliness and openness of the people and their astounding skills at every kind of handicrafts. I could never describe my surprise and admiration of the ingenuous techniques and dexterity, taste and use of colours and the practicality of everything they make.
The tour itself was incredibly organized, very well researched and super diverse. It was fun and illuminating, educational and fulfilling. Very highly recommended and definitely something i will try again in the future.
Thanks to matsya and all the fellow travelers. Already missing all.

We saw so much in such a short time – Neha, your connection to the region was inspiring and informative and made the experience of the crafts that much more moving.
