Conversations around Craft dwells upon narratives of artisans who share their experiences of making and of being craftspersons in contemporary India. The book is the result of an ethnographic study of a household of artisans in Telangana who specialize in the region’s style of murals, narrative cloth scrolls, and ritual masks and figurines. In situating voices of artisans as the central focus of study, Conversations around Craft allows readers to explore the simultaneous and juxtaposing locations where practitioners situate the experience of making and of being craftspersons.
