Products
Tuma products include lampshades, planters, wall hangings, utensils and masks. The recent jewelry range is a good example of innovation. Bitter gourds, which are normally not consumable, are used for the craft. Earlier the waste gourds were taken from the villagers, but now they grow it. Generally jewelry is made from the waste part of it. Designs are made keeping transportation in mind, like small lampshades are put inside big lampshades and filled with the jewelry products. Final product is made in such a way, that it doesn’t rot for years.
