Our platform blends modern e-learning with centuries-old wisdom, creating a vibrant space for learners, hobbyists, and professionals to rediscover India’s rich crafting legacy.

Who We Are
CraftLearn was born from a simple, powerful mission: to revive and sustain India’s fading traditional craftsmanship by bringing it into the digital age. With hundreds of regional crafts and skills under threat due to industrialization and changing lifestyles, we saw an urgent need to preserve our living heritage while also making it relevant for today’s generation.
We are a team of educators, designers, anthropologists, and craftspeople, united by a deep love for Indian hand traditions. By combining digital technology with field experience, we’ve built a platform that empowers artisans to become online instructors and allows learners to access authentic, structured courses from any location. From sari draping to Madhubani painting, from terracotta sculpting to Kantha stitching, we cover a wide range of art forms, each rooted in regional culture.
Every course on CraftLearn is thoughtfully curated with step-by-step video lessons, downloadable material lists, live Q&A sessions, and cultural insights. Learners receive certificates, project feedback, and the opportunity to showcase their creations. Many of our courses are bilingual (English and Hindi), and we are expanding to include other regional languages to make traditional knowledge more inclusive.
With every enrollment, you not only learn a new skill but also directly support the artisans who teach. We also run free access programs for underprivileged learners and organize rural craft documentation drives to preserve rare techniques. CraftLearn is more than an academy—it’s a living archive, a mentorship space, and a movement to keep India’s handmade soul alive.

Our Edge
-
Authentic Learning from Real Artisans
At CraftLearn, we partner directly with master artisans, many of whom have inherited their skills over generations. This means you learn from the true custodians of these crafts—not just teachers, but practitioners who live and breathe the tradition. Our video lessons feature the artisans working in their native settings, giving you a rich cultural context and authentic demonstrations you won’t find in generic craft tutorials. -
Flexible Online Courses for All Levels
Whether you're a curious beginner, a hobbyist, or an aspiring professional, our platform offers something for everyone. Each course is self-paced, allowing you to learn on your schedule, rewatch lessons, and practice at your convenience. Beginner modules focus on foundational skills, while advanced learners can explore intricate techniques and complete guided projects to build portfolios or sell their handmade goods. -
Cultural Storytelling & Contextual Education
Every craft has a story. Our courses go beyond technique to explore the cultural, historical, and spiritual significance of each art form. Learn why certain motifs appear in folk art, how weaving patterns represent tribal narratives, or how materials are sourced sustainably. We believe knowing the “why” behind the “how” deepens appreciation and creativity. -
Support Artisan Livelihoods Directly
Your enrollment fees go straight to the artisan-instructors, giving them fair compensation, digital tools, and a platform to scale their impact. Many of our craftspeople live in rural areas and lack market access—CraftLearn bridges this gap. When you learn with us, you’re not just acquiring a new skill—you’re investing in the survival and dignity of India’s crafting communities. -
Certification & Community Recognition
Each course includes a completion certificate that showcases your acquired skill. Our platform also hosts monthly project showcases where learners can upload their finished work, receive feedback, and get featured on our website and social media. It’s a chance to gain visibility, build your creative brand, and become part of a national network of handcraft learners and enthusiasts. -
Eco-Friendly & Mindful Crafting
CraftLearn promotes sustainability by encouraging the use of natural, locally available materials. Many of our courses include tips on zero-waste practices, upcycling, and eco-conscious crafting. We believe traditional arts are inherently sustainable, and our learners often find that slow crafting fosters mindfulness, patience, and a deeper connection to their own creativity.

- Outreach & Craft Preservation ProgramsCraftLearn collaborates with NGOs, schools, and rural communities to document rare crafts, digitize forgotten techniques, and empower underrepresented artisan groups.
