This was followed by an introduction from Creative Scotland and an opportunity for everyone in the room to introduce themselves. It was mentioned that the curators group was made up of all women - not to be the last time this was commented on.
India has a lot of crafts people - the figures varied from about 5 million to about 14 million - that is a lot of people. Crafts are the 2nd largest employment sector after farming with the majority involved being women. Social awareness and responsibility appear to be very much at the heart of what we have seen today. Also that crafts are a skills development opportunity for community and creative enterprises.
The day was very relaxed and insightful and gave us all a good introduction to each other. Off to bed for some much needed sleep.
