01

Pre-Production

Drawing and Block Printing: The creation of Kalamkari fabrics starts with artisans hand-sketching beautiful designs onto the fabric using a tamarind pen dipped in natural dyes. These initial outlines are drawn freehand and are about delicate patterns inspired by nature, mythology, or folklore. Next, wooden blocks carved with motifs are dipped in natural dyes and stamped onto the fabric.

02

Production

Dyeing and Washing: After the initial printing, the fabric is then immersed in natural dye baths, created from plant extracts, tree bark, roots, and minerals. The dyeing process involves multiple stages to achieve depth and vibrancy in color. The fabric is then also repeatedly washed in flowing water to remove excess dye and impurities to fit the colors, making them resilient, and long-lasting on the fabric.
