Craft Notes
Block Printed By Hand :
In India, artisans have used hand carved wooden blocks to print on handwoven fabric for nearly four thousand years. This fabric was printed layer by layer, colour by colour - entirely by hand.
Each block print started as a tree, then a wood block, carved by hand into sets of intricate patterns, dipped and stamped layer by layer, revealing ancient motifs of Earth, sky, flora and fauna.
100% Natural Dye :
Derived from locally sourced plants and minerals, natural dyes draw from thousands of years of Ayurvedic knowledge.
Through the use of these ancient processes and natural dyes, the fabric gains a unique characteristic. During summer, the dye expands the pores of the fabric, making it easy for air to pass through. During winter, the pores close tighter, providing warmth.
Natural dyes produce subtle, layered colours with exquisite tonal variation. This artisanal work inherently results in variations and makes each piece a unique expression of natural elements.
Natural dyes include indigo, henna, turmeric, pomegranate, jaggery, iron, ash, rhubarb root, mud and red clay and are biodegradable, generate zero waste, help to preserve water quality, and contribute to the nutrient cycle of soil.
Handwork naturally results in variations. We cherish these nuances for their human touch.
