11:00 AM - 01:00 PM

Step into a world of color, texture, and a bit of soapy fun! Join master artisan Farooq Ahmad Khan as he brings the magic of Namda making to life — this time, with a twist. Instead of large wool rugs, you’ll learn how to create charming felt balls with colourful wool. Roll, shape, and watch wool transform righ before your eyes, then string your creations into a beautiful handmade bracelet to take home!

It’s a joyful introduction to Kashmir’s traditional felting craft — simple, satisfying, and full of creative energy. No experience needed, just your curiosity and a willingness to get your hands a little soapy!

Please note that all materials will be provided by the artisan.

This workshop is a part of Sandeep Sangaru’s curation, Hands, Tools, and the Living Thread: From Kashmiri Craft Ateliers.
