10 Creators from Chennai whose Crafts You Should See

Last Saturday I went to the BYOB Chennai flea-mart expo organized by GoFloaters at Tea Trails, Nungambakkam. GoFloaters offers flexible workspaces for coworking & meetings at leading cafes, offices, meeting places, etc. around the city. The best thing is, you can book per hour!

This exhibition featured the handmade crafts/arts/products/services of ten creators from Chennai. Most of them have pages on Instagram through which you can contact them and place your order online.

In this expo I did something I never did before – I recorded a video interview with most of the creators exhibiting there and uploaded them to Youtube so that people who didn’t visit the popup can also find out about the wonderful work they are doing.

I feel it’s the duty of creative people to help other creative people 🙂

Here are the video interviews I did with the ten creators. You can choose and watch the topics that you like, or you can watch them all. Don’t forget to do your bit by sharing this blog post on your social media channels.
