Hello Amorette,
I read about MAP Academy from and ArtNet newsletter that I receive daily. The article was about the new online encyclopedia of Indian art: a first of its kind! Congratulations to you and your team!
My fascination with textiles has been lifelong. Now that I am retired, I am exploring my artistic interests and was drawn to your course on textiles. I was born in USA (and live in California), and have been married to a Punjabi for over 40 years, so I have had the immense privilege of visiting India many times, of being gifted saris, suits, shawls and phulkaris from generous friends and family, and I am simply fascinated by textiles, cloth, and the different ways to use them.
I would love to see a course on the unique ways that people use unstitched cloth for their clothing. The turban is a great example of how individuals use unstitched cloth for self-expression (in addition to religious expression).
I love visiting cloth markets in India: the sights, the smells, the sensation of the fabrics: are a feast for the senses!
I am looking forward to viewing all of the videos in your course. Thank you for offering your course worldwide.
Be the first to hear about all the latest MAP Academy articles, online courses and news.
