Dying art of mask-making to get a new lease of life :
“The
craft of mask making is on the verge of dying today. Specially the
youth today have lost touch with this tradition. In order to create
awareness among the young people and teach them about the dying craft,
we are organising this workshop,” said Samiran Goswami, director of
Saanshi.
Hem Chandra Goswami, who hails from Samuguri Satra of
Majuli is the trainer of the workshop. “There is no entry fee in our
workshop because this is an initiative to restore the old craft of the
state,” said Hem Chandra Goswamai, the trainer. “I am happy to be a
trainer here as the youngsters are also very interested to earn this art
from me,” added Goswamai.
