About Kalamkari Print:

Kalamkari, meaning 'pen work,' is an Indian traditional technique using a bamboo stick as a pen to apply colors. Initially hand-drawn, it evolved to incorporate woodblocks and became synonymous with floral arabesques. The print employs natural dyes through block printing, using materials like charcoal, alum, flowers, indigo, madder, and turmeric. The colors blend with use, creating a rustic hue that is characteristic of Kalamkari, achieved only through the natural power and traditional craftsmanship.
