Bhadohi, India
Rug Art Creations weaves at Ghamahapur, Hariyawan, in Sant Ravidas Nagar district, and works in one line, handloom rugs and durries. Parveen Bano is the contact for the firm. Flatweaving of this kind is the village-level craft of the Bhadohi belt, worked on pit and frame looms rather than in a mill. Rug Art Creations is a member of the Carpet Export Promotion Council, the Indian Ministry of Textiles body for carpet exporters, under membership number 8911.
Handloom rugs, durries
Flatwoven rugs and durries made on handlooms, the weft driven home so the surface stays even and the rug lies flat without an underlay. Pattern is carried in the weave itself rather than printed or tufted onto a ground.
