The Delicate Process Unfolds
- Crafting Wooden Blocks: Our journey commences with a skilled artisan delicately transferring their design from paper to a small wooden block. This intricate phase, spanning 7 to 10 days, depending on the complexity of the design, is entrusted to our master craftsmen. They ensure that the very heart of our process is nothing short of exceptional.
- Nature's Palette: Drawing inspiration from the gifts of the Earth, we create most of our vibrant colour palette using ingredients like vegetables, roots, and natural extracts such as turmeric, indigo, marigold, and spinach, we lovingly prepare these dyes in generous wooden trays. The result is a rich and eco-friendly spectrum of colours, as vibrant as nature itself.
- The Dance of Blocks: With fabric gently washed by hand in river water, our artisans find their canvas. It lays flat across long tables, eager to come alive. Each wooden block stamp is dipped into its chosen hue and then carefully pressed onto the fabric, one stroke at a time. Celebrating imperfections as part of the charm, especially when multiple colours entwine, ensures that each piece holds a unique story, just like those who wear it.
- Bathed in Sunlight: To bring our journey to a close, our creations are left to bask in the warm embrace of natural sunlight. This final touch not only adds an eco-friendly essence but also infuses each piece with the revitalizing energy of the great outdoors. It's a tribute to nature, craftsmanship, and the unique beauty of every creation.
