Charan Sachar – Textile Artist and Potter

March 11 @ 10:00 am - March 12 @ 7:00 pm

Charan Sachar – Textile Artist and Potter

Handweavers Guild of Boulder
March 2024 Day & Evening Program

Charan Sachar recently taught at PlyAway where several HGB members met him and took his courses. He is an artist whose work reflects his passion for the fiber arts such as knitting, spinning, weaving, quilting. He uses that love as an inspiration for his clay work. In all the fields he works in, Charan loves to accept challenges and approach the making with a “what if…” attitude. Charan specializes in creating art yarns with textures, using traditional spinning techniques and pushing them an extra step to create unique yarns. Charan Sachar lived in India for a significant part of his life where his mother ran a boutique designing clothes for brides and bridesmaids. The designs, colors, fabrics and embroidery he came across then have a strong impact on his work now.

In 2014, Charan took up knitting as a hobby and very soon the knit patterns started making an appearance in his pottery work. Since then, he has been spinning, weaving and knitting a lot, one step further down into the rabbit hole of fiber and every step inspires him.
