About Us

Folk Art Designs is a gallery of Indian folk and tribal art for people who want to make it, not just look at it. Students, hobby artists, teachers and small sellers come here for mandala, lippan, warli, kalamkari, pichwai, gond, pattachitra, dhokra, kangra and bastar ideas.

What you will find on every page

• Original designs, each with the medium it is made in, its main motifs and who or where it suits.
• A short artist tip, so you know how to start, which pen or clay to use, or how to wear and care for a kalamkari piece.
• Plain notes on where each art form comes from and what makes it recognisable.

We respect the communities these arts come from. Our pages explain the traditions, and we always suggest buying from artisans when you want an original piece. Write to us through the contact page.
