Ehsaas

Ehsaas is a journey crafted to understand and connect with the character of a place, its identity, and its people. The idea is to absorb everything we can and make ourselves a part of it. The voyage is set with an aim to understand the versatility of the material we work with, through documentation, and realising how it is making our country a better, sustainable place to live in. At the end of every trip, we wish to leave with its 'Ehsaas' rooted in our minds and souls. Come, feel it!

Learn more about previous workshops here.
