Hand spinning of ginned organic cotton fiber- KORA / S F / Parivartan

Mark has sent some ginned organic cotton to try the fiber spinning on traditional "desi Charkha". The fiber was given to our spinner Indravati Devi to spin yarn on her Charkha.
This a a video that shows our journey to the village, Santhu and indravati devi's home and her experience to deal with the fiber till it is made in to hank.
It is Kora initiative. The work is done in a cluster set up in Santu Village for Srijani Foundation, Patna; supported by Parivartan, Narendrapur, Bihar.
This video is shot with a phone camera in an hours time. We tried to capture experience of hand spinning not just as livelihood but as as fun of exploring new material, getting command over it after some practice and achieve all possibilities.

To watch the woman spinning- her beautiful smiling face and to see her beautifully positioned hands and arms- she looks like she’s dancing!

This video showcases workshops on hand spinning organised by Srijani Foundation in Siwan district, Bihar in 2016.Satish of KORA was the Design Consultant of the Foundation for a year. The Foundation owes this humble revival to our master trainer, Ram Vilas Mahto, the team that has worked hard to make this happen and Tata Trust who has supported us with a grant in aid for our mission to facilitate spinners and weavers earn for their living.
