Ashfaq Ahmed
?Hi friends, I am Ashfaq Ahmed and I was born in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. Those who know me well consider me to be someone who is a quick learner, a hard worker, and a dedicated person.<br><br>
?I come from a family of rug creators. During my early years, I used to be fascinated by the bright and vibrant colors. Since my father was already in this rug-making craft from my childhood days, I learned this craft from him. In fact, my three brothers and I, we all learned this craft from our father. After mastering this craft, I and my four brothers started to work with our father and helped him to expand his business. <br><br>
?Being a creative mind I always wanted to do something of my own. So I started a small workshop in Mirzapur by myself. Now I have a team of 25-30 members who work with me. We mainly work with wool and cotton for making my products due to their availability in a variety of types and colors. I believe nature is the biggest source of inspiration and it has given a new direction to my work. <br><br>
?We have participated in many national fairs like Dastakar and Dastakari in Delhi. We have also participated in local exhibitions in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune and Mumbai. I have been able to generate employment for these workers who work with me to support their families and provide education to their children. <br><br>
?I am very thankful to Novica for giving me a global platform to exhibit my talent. I want to reach out to the world market and give my art a new horizon to explore.?
