The journey of this studio is very playful as the final output is a board game which touches the Indian expect of crafts especially the crafts which prevail in Gujarat. This studio explored crafts with their stories, and translated them in various forms like books, maps, postcards and above all, games. Games are the only links between all the age groups and teaching our traditions through them is quintessential. Interacting in design through crafts, representing them using graphics, inculcating them in our lives and honoring them is what I take away from this studio.

The game components are designed using four colors which helps children understand the different processes shown in the game. the tools are laser cut so that children can feel the shape of them. The motif cards can be used to draw on them which makes children aware about designs of Patola craft.
Rule book is kept as informative as possible and digital images are added to help children understand better. Thematic booklet gives required information about the craft to make children aware about it.
The poster of the game compiles the game setup to attract people towards the game. The packaging includes necessary information, name and graphics on it.
The experiential narrative map is a culmination of the learnings and is an outcome of the field visits to Kutch, Sayla, Vastadi and Surendranagar.
A5 size post cards are designed to provide information about the tools which are used by craftsmen along with their graphics.
Jadupatua is a narrative craft which emerged in Jharkhand and was initially a scroll painting but eventually started coming on papers and walls.
A story in a story is based on a Bengal based story which teaches a moral that the truth should be ascertained before taking any action. It includes 3 more stories in it with a definite character to all.
This is a culmination to all the workshops performed during the studio.
