Beyond Peacocks and Paisleys: Handcrafted Textiles of India and its Neighbors

Artisans in South Asia use a broad range of handcraft techniques to meet the apparel and home furnishing needs of consumers in India, surrounding nations, and around the world. The Goldstein Museum of Design exhibition Beyond Peacocks and Paisleys: Handcrafted textiles of India and its neighbors (June 11 to September 25, 2011) examined how techniques evolved over time as the producers discovered new markets and faced competition from international handcraft and industrial producers.
