FABRIC PAINTERS OF GUJARAT, INDIA

Made in Gujurat by a community craft platform set up to maintain the crafts, heritage and cultural ecology of the area, this particular technique of painting on fabric uses thick brightly coloured paint made with castor seed oil. Artisans place a small amount of this paint paste into their palm and using a metal rod carefully apply patterns and motifs onto the fabric before it is left to dry in the sun.
