It was a great pleasure to welcome Sydney based textile designer Sally Campbell and her partner Greg (sallycampbell.com.au) to the studio. It was a beautiful time and hope both of you will visit us again soon!
In Swastika studio we have received 11students from different parts of India who are participating a one month long Swadharma program (http://www.swadharma.auroville.org). Swadharma is a self-discovery program dedicated to youth in India. We had brief introduction of our activity and it was followed by casual interaction.
