About Kashmir Expo – Kashmiri Handicrafts & Papier-Mâché
Welcome to Kashmir Expo – Handmade Arts and Crafts, where the tradition of Kashmiri handicrafts meets timeless elegance. Our workshop in Srinagar, Kashmir, is home to artisans who transform raw materials into heirloom pieces through patience, precision, and love for the craft.
I am Nasir Hussain Mugloo, an award-winning Kashmiri craftsman specializing in the fine art of Kashmiri papier-mâché. My journey began decades ago, guided by masters who taught me to respect both technique and storytelling. In 1995, I had the honor of showcasing my work at a prestigious European exhibition—an experience that strengthened my mission to preserve, innovate, and share this heritage with the world.
Our Story: Kashmiri Handicrafts Brought to Life
At Kashmir Expo, every object carries a narrative. We create original papier-mâché pieces with gold-embedded designs and intricate painting traditions. Our collection includes celebrated styles such as Hazara, Gulandar Gul, Shabi Guliwilayat, Chinar Art, Mughal Paintings, and Mughal Art. Alongside papier-mâché, we curate handcrafted Kashmiri wooden furniture and room dividers, artistic clutches, pill boxes, wall panels, and thoughtful gift items that bring the spirit of the valley into modern homes.
How We Make Authentic Kashmiri Handicrafts
Authenticity begins with materials and methods. Our artisans prepare the base, layer by layer, before a meticulous sequence of smoothing, priming, hand-drawing, and painting. We apply gold-leaf work with care, then seal each piece for durability. These time-honored processes preserve the delicate finesse that distinguishes authentic Kashmiri handicrafts—subtle contours, balanced florals, and luminous finishes.
