Painting at Noah's Ark

This skilled painter is Girish Kumar, who works at Noah's Ark in India.

16 February 2012

Noah's Arks supplies Traidcraft with the colourful Carnival Hand Painted Cups and Storage Tins, which are available in our new spring catalogue.

Asked what it was he likes about working at Noah's Ark, Girish says: "The behaviour here is different from the other companies I have worked with and I am getting more salary.

"First thing is that I can be more artistic. In my other job I was only allowed to paint one colour and now I can paint the whole product. I feel more skilled and Noah’s Ark comes up with new designs.

"I would like some more orders in new designs in big quantities so we can help our families and ourselves."

Watch how he carefully creates the colourful designs, which are inspired by the paintings on rickshaws in India.
