FEEDBACK FROM JENNIFER:
Point out the
1. acoustic qualities of felt (sound dampening is always appreciated in a children's room)
2. Tactile qualities : young kids explore with their hands, therefore keeping them in a tactile environment will keep them engaged.
Look at Offi (foam chairs for children)
Problem Statement: India has a huge pool of talented craftsmen. But the people no longer value craft, Therefore, due to lack of patronage, traditional skills and techniques of craftsmanship are dying away.
Solution: The choices parents make, in terms of the things they give their children, embed certain valued in them. Thus introducing craft at an earl age, would encourage them to use and appreciate crafted products at an early age.
BOARD;

Sounds good, Samta. Will you be bringing back felt or felt-making supplies after break, and will you visit and document craftspeople working with this mateial? As with any exploration of this type, it is most important that you bring real materials and/or tools that are part of the craft tradition you are trying to preserve/document.
