From Earth to Art

Creations of 20 artisans of two villages near Paharpur Buddhist Bihar are being showcased in the Terracotta Fair and Exhibition 2017 at the National Museum. With the help of Unesco, the National Crafts Council of Bangladesh held several workshops with the artisans over the last nine months. The fair began on February 10 and would end tomorrow. The Unesco and the National Crafts Council of Bangladesh hope that their year-long project and the exercise and promotional activities would help expand the market for the artisan community.
