We believe that construction can be fun and accessible for all.
Design and experimentation is a vehicle for collaboration and exchange between students, artisans and designers. The use of natural materials presents a wide range of possibilities. We try to make the design process as participatory as possible by working in collaboration with artists, sculptors and students. We organize hands-on workshops and training for interested individuals and institutions to share our experiences in sustainable building practices. We love to bring alive the understanding of clay and the fun of creating with it, in schools and colleges as well; bringing it all together under hands-on@madeinearth.in
