Screw Pine Craft, a traditional art form from Kerala, is a celebration of creativity and innovation. Using the fibrous leaves of the screw pine plant, local artisans craft intricate and beautiful items, from baskets and mats to wall hangings and lampshades. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, with the artisans using only the simplest of tools to create their masterpieces. The result is a product that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, with the natural durability of the screw pine leaves making the crafts both long-lasting and eco-friendly.
