Rudranil is based in West Bengal, India, renowned for its rich literary and cultural heritage. He studied textile design at the Government College of Art and Craft in Calcutta and the National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad where he developed a particular interest in design grammar and the technique of ‘wrapping’. A wrapped surface is created using threads, and is yet woven, but displays infinite scope for creating patterns, textures and structure. Rudranil works in the textiles manufacturing industry and also the crafts sector on government projects with co-operatives in villages of eastern India. He was awarded a Charles Wallace scholarship in 2012 for a visiting research fellowship to work with Briony Thomas in the Design Science Group at the University of Leeds.
