As textile production gets infinitley more mechanised, traditional forms of textile making often get forgotten. Leaving these centuries old cultural pillars at risk of extinction.
With my entry for the #configmakeathon, I aimed to tackle this porblem by digitally preserving 3 of India's textile crafts, in an interactive gameplay tutorial that thakes users through the pre-production, weaving, dyeing and detailing processes of creating these crafts.
By removing the barrier to entry to produce these crafts, it allows the indigenous knowledge of these textile crafts to be preserved and and enjoyed by the masses.
After you complete the textile making process, your work joins a community quilt, showcasing a live collection of all the users works.
Add your piece. Keep the craft alive.
