Natural dyeing and block printing – Beginners’ workshop in Bangalore
Nature is full of colours, colours so beautiful and captivating that men from early times have tried to capture its ephemeral beauty to decorate themselves and their homes as colour seem to speak the very language of the soul.
Art of traditional block printing on to cotton cloth is thought to have existed in India for over 4500 years. Evidence of the Indian craftsman’s unsurpassed skill with printed and dyed cotton cloth appears through out the history. They used complex techniques to achieve desired patterns, and they changed from place to place depending on the weather conditions and materials available. Each pattern, motif meant something and spoke of their identity.

– Understanding natural dyes and its properties

About Arteisch – Native Americans chased bad dreams away from their babies with these elegant rings. I weave them to keep the good dreams in. In 2013, my hands learned to weave as well as paint. I applied the same elements of design in weaving dreamcatchers. My dreamcatchers are a smorgasbord of tiny to huge hoops, contemporary patterns and palettes. Most of my work is inspired by exploring places, people and their cultures. This drift is about learning and unlearning, to imagine and to create.
