About our Artist: 'I'm Gautam Kumar Saraf and I was born in Bihar in 1975. As a child, I'd watch my father working with weavers. He was a master of this art. I was very interested in learning how to weave and he and other artisans taught me. After my father's unexpected death, I took over for him. Today, nearly 100 artisans collaborate with me and their talent gives shape to my imagination. We use all kinds of natural yarns for our scarves and shawls.
