PICTURES OF KRIS' ARTISANS AT WORK

We believe that making handicrafts involves more than just transforming a few simple things into striking ones. Our artists take pride in their craft in which they engage to earn their living. We consider ourselves a bridge between the craft persons and the ultimate buyers, bringing design excellence and exquisite craftsmanship from the grass-roots artisans to whose who cherish these crafts. Unique designer handicrafts made by our artisans entice craft lovers from around the world.

Women artisans from Rajasthan making puppets. Men generally carve faces, hands & feet. Women paint the faces and dress the puppets.	When there is more work to be done men also lend a helping hand to women.

Mixing colour for dyeing of handmade paper. Clean workplace and proper ventilation is necessary for this work.

We make sure that the goods are produced by artisans who adhere to the basic principles of no child labour, equal
wages to same work for men & women alike, basic facilities & cleanliness at place of work, timely payment of
wages, and minimum wage. We insist with artisan groups that there should be no forced overtime,
harassment, verbal abuse or corporal punishment. Our artisans understand this and
are sensitive to group members’ needs and requirements.

Kris Kreations encourages artisans to develop, and sells the traditional handicrafts
made by them. Kris is committed to the welfare of its producer groups and assists
many crafts people with finances, design, training & management of their work.
Producer groups range from single persons to extended family groups.
Items made by Kris' producer groups provide an alternate to products made in sweatshops.
