Crafts and textiles in Kerala
Many of South Asia's great crafts are still made by hand, in workshops a few streets from the tourist sites. We arrange visits with makers, not sales floors, and there is no commission on anything you buy.
Workshops close on festival days and some weekly holidays. We check your dates with each studio before we confirm the plan.
