The Crafts Council of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana (CCAPT) is a voluntary, non-profit organisation, founded in 1987, as an affiliate of the Crafts Council of India, which in turn is a member of the World Crafts Council. The CCAPT works with craftspeople from across the state of Andhra Pradesh & Telanga, with the two-pronged objective of reviving specific handicraft traditions of the state, as well a

s making these products available commercially. From it’s inception, the CCAPT has and continues to work on product development and marketing with Banjara Needle craft, Karimnagar Filigiree, Leather Puppets, Ettikopaka, and Bidri amongst others. The CCAPT at regular intervals also organizes weavers, artisans and craftspeople from various parts of the country to come together and sell their wares. Funded partially by the Central Government, and partially through fundraising events and sales it organises, the CCAPT channels its resources into providing support through infrastructure and marketing in order to make handicrafts sustainable for the crafts-person to produce, and accessible for the craft lover to own.

The Crafts Council of Telangana recently conducted Hands That Think, a six-day workshop led by Mr. Poludas Nagendra Satish, centred on material exploration, hand processes, and mindful making.

Beginning with a simple question “What are we wearing?”, the workshop unfolded through tactile learning and collective engagement. Participants worked from raw cotton to hand-spun yarn, gradually moving into weaving practices that explored rhythm, structure, colour, and form.

Through spinning, loom work, and collaborative exercises, the sessions encouraged patience, a deeper understanding of the creative process, and the relationship between hand, material, and thought.

Threads of Tradition: Learning the art of spinning yarn on Charkha | 16-17 May

In a world of fast fashion and instant results, we often lose touch with the origin of what we wear. The art of spinning is not just about making yarn; it is about patience, presence, and a deeper connection with the earth.

Join us for a two-day immersive workshop to rediscover the intimate process of transforming raw cotton into yarn.

Guided by K J Satchidananda (Sacchu), we will explore the meditative rhythm of the charkha and the stories woven into every fiber.

Time:10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Venue: Crafts Council of Telangana (CCT), Road no 12, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
