Kalamkari Workshop
Sun Jul 6, 11:00 AM
SADHNA CHAGANTI
Kalamkari art, a timeless artform from the region of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu and is renowned for its intricate beauty. Dating back almost 3000 years, this art was popularised by the Rayas of Vijayanagara, and reached its heyday during the Mughal period (1526-1857) in India.
The term ‘kalamkari’ has Persian roots where ‘kalam’ means pen, and ‘kari’ means craftsmanship. Therefore, ‘kalamkari’ translates to the intricate art work done through a pen made from natural ingredients. The pen or the ‘kalam’ is obtained from the bamboo and sharpened, it is traditionally dipped in kasimi (a natural black dye) black liquid. The ‘kalam’ is wrapped with wool around it, which holds the black dye and the artist squeezes the wool to extract this dye as and when required.
