Why Jaipur?
Jaipur is a living ecosystem of enduring, heritage crafts—including hand block printing, natural dyeing, hand embroideries, custom embellishments, and fine jewelry-making. These skills are increasingly rare outside of India. The Creators Week program provides insider access to this crafts ecosystem—connections and expertise that would take years to develop independently.

Why Start Jaipur Creators Week?
We started Jaipur Creators Week to support heritage crafts and artisan makers in India. Lots of people want the same—but we're interested in the formal aspects of market repair.
In 2018, we returned to India after a long hiatus and became accidental crafts researchers because a meter of handwoven, indigo-dyed fabric cost the same everywhere. That breaks basic market logic, where there's usually a relationship between price and quality. These fabrics had different cotton, different weaving, and different indigo. Why was the pricing flat? Flat pricing is generally for commodities like copper and oil?
The full story is, here.
That question led us to Structural Market Analysis of Indian handwovens. Crafts were broken on four out of five—maybe five out of five—functions of working markets. We founded the Jaipur Crafts Festival and built a crafts differentiation strategy to activate change. That led to Weave3 and Economy3.
Creators Week is part of that differentiation strategy. Tracing crafts in native JSON-LD helps repair the crafts sector on dimensions of:
