Flying in all the way from the Himalayas, this is a rare opportunity to explore hand crafts directly with the Artisans

Join Lata and Sapna, two extraordinary women artisans from the Kullu region, for a intimate series of workshops rooted in generations of textile tradition. With over 15 years of self-practice, they carry forward the skills and stories of their families and pass on their traditional knowledge so that it can carry forward. 

Each session is also a space for story-sharing, Q&A, and cultural exchange. Lata and Sapna bring their own voices into the room—not just as teachers, but as women who have grown, innovated, and sustained these skills despite enormous change.

We will also be joined by founders Nisha & Brighu, who will share their story and passion of growing the Kullvi Whims community to over 300 artisans working with wool.

In the heart of the Kullu Valley is a group of women revitalising their traditional craft practices

Founded in 2012 by Nisha Subramaniam and Brighu Acharya, Kullvi Whims stands for the beauty inherent in slow craft processes which match the seasonal rhythms of mountain life. This cooperative is more than just a business; it is a powerful story of women leading the preservation of indigenous knowledge and revitalising traditional handloom practices.

The women are all traditional artisans, who inherited their skills of spinning, weaving, knitting, and crocheting from their families. Using indigenous wool sourced from the Gaddi pastoral tribe they naturally dye it with local flora. Their handcrafted pieces reflect the Himalayan landscape and support the local economy from the roots up.
