Shramik Kala is a collective of 400 Craftswomen from Rajankatti, Makelmardi, Kadoli, Hunnur, Telaganatti, Madanbhavi, and Chikoppa which are drought prone regions in the state of Karnataka. This collective was formed by Shramik Abhivrudhi Sangh, a local NGO which has promoted many craft-based, sustainable livelihood projects for women who had previously depended upon seasonal wage labor and migration to cities for work.
Shramik Kala has nurtured the women to revive and master many of Northern Karnataka’s craft-traditions and techniques such as: indigo dyeing of the Neelgars, rope-twisting, folk-stitching and joinery of the Nadafs, vegetable tanning/dyeing of hides and leather-crafting of the Dhor and Samgar communities, wool-felting, spinning and kambal weaving techniques of sheepherding communities.The craftswomen now earn a livelihood by making high quality, naturally-dyed, hand spun, hand woven and non-woven bags from the natural fibres of jute, cotton, banana, mestha fibre, leather, and blended fabrics.
With a production capacity of 3000 bags per month, Shramik Kala, with it’s distinct product-range, has carved a niche into the regional and global market in a way that nourishes the local environment and community.

This collection is handcrafted by the Lambani tribe of Bijapur, Karnataka. Traditionally worn by this nomadic tribe the jewelry is made of copper, white metal, and silver and also accented with cotton threads and handmade beads. Less than ten families currently sustain this craft and many of the next generation work as migrant labour in neighbouring states of Goa and Maharashtra.
Hand-woven in pure silk, these sarees from the Bagalkot district of Karnataka represent the rich cultural heritage of South India. The beautiful range of colours is achieved using floral and vegetable dye extracts. Notice the detailed kasuthi (hand embroidery) and traditional motifs used. Sadly though, many of the artisans involved in this craft are departing from their inherited skills to work in granite quarries, where they perceive a better future for themselves.
