View all pieces in this print.
The term Kalamkari is derived from kalam pen, and kari work. The original kalamkaris had fine black lines drawn with a stylus. Gradually the process evolved from using a pen to printing with hand-carved wooden blocks. Todays kalamkaris feature the same beautiful aesthetic and motifs made with natural dyes on light backgrounds.
Part of the beauty of kalamkari cloth lies in fact that each block is placed by the artisans hand what is left behind is an imprint of personality and character. Slight variations are to be celebrated.
