Industrial design workshop ends

An industrial design workshop sponsored by the US Embassy ended on Monday where 26 students and working professionals participated to improve their handicraft product design skills for two weeks.
The workshop was a pilot programme held by Notre Dame University Professor Ann-Marie Conrado. The programme is part of a larger initiative to strengthen and diversify Nepal’s handicraft industry so that more Nepali handicrafts can be exported to Western markets. The Pokhara-based Hope Initiative, founded
by Conrado, received US$ 73,280 from the US Department of State Innovation Fund to develop and implement this new curriculum on handicraft product design in Nepal.
US Embassy officials including Michael Goldman, Acting Deputy Chief of Mission, attended the closing ceremony. The closing ceremony was a creative culmination of the work of students, who used traditional Nepali techniques.

Throughout the workshop, Conrado highlighted the export potential for Nepal’s handicraft industry and demonstrated how improved designs can improve the handicraft industry’s export potential. Kathmandu University will be incorporating industrial design elements into its art curriculum and is planning industrial design workshops and certificate programmes in the future.
