I was born in Kashmir in 1991. Those who know me well describe me as calm, hardworking, relaxed and caring. In Kashmir, papier mache is an ancestral art form and Ive been attracted towards it since childhood. I realized that this craft is 450 years old and needs the attention of the young generation. My father taught me, and also my siblings and other artisans who came to collaborate with us.Learning anything needs practice and focus. Without practice and focusing, I dont believe it is possible to learn anything. I also believe there are no masters of a craft we focus and learn new things every day.
