Six-day workshop on ‘Traditional Lepcha Weaving’ to be organised at Pudung
The objective of the workshop is to encourage and support traditional weavers of the Lepcha community which has been well known for centuries for the high standards of their weaving, with skills handed down from generation to generation, by:
a) arranging for the training of forty Rabindra Bharati University students from Kolkata by highly skilled master weavers of the Lepcha community;
b) arranging for research and documentation on the traditional weaving of the Lepchas by eliciting and gathering as much data and information as possible; and
c) endeavouring to make ‘traditional Lepcha weaving’ better and more widely known.
