Farooq Khan, India’s lone Nuno felting craftsman, combined the Nuno felting
method with traditional handicrafts from Kashmir to create an entirely new
type of art. The old crafts of Kashmir have been given new life by Farooq,
who combined the two techniques to create a unique style that has become
popular worldwide. Using technology developed in Australia and popularized
in Japan, this craftsman updated Kashmir’s traditional “Nanda” carpets and
silk scarves for the modern market.
