Our Indian workshop

At Crafts by Solid's Indian handworkshop, Paces Crafts, in Jharkhand, India, we’re all about empowering 60 amazing women from tribal communities with skills like crochet, kantha stitching, sewing, and hand-weaving. But we don’t stop there—we’re more than just a workplace! With childcare and social workshops, we’re here to help them tackle life’s challenges and build brighter futures for their families.

  • Creating change

    At our workshop, we don’t just create jobs—we’re creating opportunities for women to earn their own income and make their own decisions. Many come from rural backgrounds where work outside the home is uncommon, apart from agriculture, which often falls short of meeting their financial needs. With limited alternatives, the only other options were uncertain day labor or dangerous offers tied to human trafficking, putting them at risk.

  • We provide a safe, supportive space close to home, helping them adapt to a professional environment, build skills in hand-weaving, kantha stitching, crochet, and sewing, and grow their confidence. With added support like childcare, and social workshops on financial literacy or human rights we’re empowering women to take charge of their lives and create brighter futures.

Handmade!

At Crafts by Solid, we’re all about keeping the magic of artisanal craftsmanship alive! Our talented artisans — mostly women from rural areas — use traditional techniques like hand-weaving, kantha stitching, crochet, and sewing to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind products. No machines here — we’re all about quality, tradition, and a whole lot of soul in everything we make.

Tailormade

We specialize in tailormade production, working closely with our clients to bring their visions to life. From conceptualization and design to sampling, production, and packaging, we handle every aspect of the process according to our clients' specifications. Our team ensures that each piece reflects the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality.

Quality materials

We know we’re making things a bit more complicated by working with recycled sari fabrics and creating unique, one-of-a-kind products—but it’s a choice that makes sense to us. It’s a locally available material that’s repurposed, resourceful, and carries a rich story of its own, honoring India’s heritage while supporting local communities and their craftsmanship.
