New Bandhani – Silk & Colour – Wrap Yourself in Hand-Tied Bandhani

by - Thursday, September 16, 2021

 

Tied resist is a traditional patterning technique that has been practiced in India for centuries. The Sanskrit origins of “Bandhani” also give us the term "bandana". 
 
Each dot is the result of creating a tiny peak in the cloth, and then tightly wrapping thread around the peak to resist the dye. Artisans work with precision as they slowly pattern the entire cloth - a lengthy process with an exquisite outcome.  These are pointallist masterpieces worked in silk. 

Maiwa works directly with bandhani artisans working in the Kutch Desert of Gujarat, India.
