About Sikki Grass Weaving: The story of Sikki grass weaving (the golden grass globally known as Vetiver Grass) dates back to the early Vedic period when it was practised in the midst of a nomadic life inching towards settlement. Sikki is a 4-feet tall lush green grass that grows independently along ponds or lakes. Earlier people, especially women, would create dolls, containers, toys, storage boxes, bangles and other articles with the grass. Grains were stored in Sikki containers and young girls were judged based on their skill in the art.
Materials that will be sent as part of this workshop:
- Sikki grass coloured in 3 different colours by the artist
- Traditonal tool for weaving: Takua (about 6 inch long needle like object made of lac)
We hope you can join us to support the arts and artists.
