Toda Craft Documentation 1st week of April 2017 - Craft appreciation is also a crucial part of the curriculum as the students learn to incorporate the traditional heritage into their design understanding. The Nilgiris is rich in tribal heritage each with their own unique crafts like the Toda tribe who are known for their unique embroidery which has a fine finish and appears like a woven cloth but is made with use of red and black threads with a white cotton cloth background. The relationship between craft, art and design is closely looked at so as to integrate a holistic view into design processes.
