Über das Programm

The Art and Craft Volunteer Program requires participants who have experience in any form of the arts like painting, graphic design, paper mache, card making, bead work, screen printing, bamboo craft, jewelry or other craft skills. This program involves the design and production of various merchandise derived from the mentioned art forms which we make in our in-house studio for sale in retail outlets in and around the Darjeeling Hills. The proceeds from the sales serves as a supplementary income to run the farm and its maintenance as well as a means towards the education of some of the small farmers' children in the local schools.

We also outsource some of the merchandise production to local craftsmen who work from their own homes which retains the economy within the local community alongside propagating a sustainable lifestyle for small artisans and marginalized families.

Our Art and Craft Program goes by the name of Soul'd Out and it is truly a tribute to the Hills and its vibrant mix of cultures, celebrating every aspect of it from traditional to contemporary. We try to keep our raw materials as natural as possible and are always open to new ideas and experiments from visitors and volunteers alike.

Tagesablauf

Über die Organisation

Our current project is a cob structure installation to house a library and activity center for the community.

Lerne deine Organisation kennen

We are a Farm community, Kitchen, Studio and Artist Residency ideal for people looking to experience a typical village life amidst nature and peaceful surroundings. We work in harmony with other small farmers of the region to build a healthy alternative where we strive to live sustainably and responsibly with each other.

Ecological sustainability is the primary focus of our long term vision and as our village grows, we want to see this ideal take shape. Diversity is an important element for us and our village consists of individuals, families and an income sharing community.

Most materials used to build the project premises are natural yields from the surrounding areas like bamboo, stone, mud, thatch, straw etc or are reclaimed, upcycled, reused from things which would otherwise have been made into landfill, hence polluting the environment.

My boyfriend and I spent one of the best days ever at Petrichor with the ultra cool and artsy Sweta. It is such a refreshing experience to be surrounded by nothing but beautiful serene nature for miles and miles around and to relax to the sounds of crickets and birds as you sit by the fresh water ...
