Instructor:
Rashmi Singh, A Post Graduate in Design from the prestigious National
Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, has over 10 years of industry
experience, in multiple creative streams with popular fashion brands
and her own private label.
Rashmi primarily works with two of the oldest art forms, Tholu
Bommalata (Leather Puppetry) from Andhra Pradesh and Madhubani
Painting from Bihar. “To sustain something that has lost its
relevance we need to add perspective, redefine and recreate into a
product that gives a sense of history and a piece of future, making it
truly timeless.”
Rashmi works with artisans in interior villages of Andhra Pradesh to
develop a range of contemporary products using Tholu bommalata. She
has developed unique bespoke products that are the perfect blend of
heritage and contemporary.
