Palampore Palampore Palampore Palampore Named after lustrous Indian painted fabric panels, Palampore combines exotic Indienne-inspired and indigenous designs in two coordinating collections of fabrics and wallcoverings. The love affair with these decorated cloths became a European sensation in the 17th century as the vivid dying techniques were highly sought after and cotton was considered a luxury fabric for bedcovers. Patterns in these collections include tree of life elements – influenced by traditional palampore textiles – Jacobean flowers, unique leaf and paisley motifs, decorative small-scale designs and printed paperweaves, as well as a playful tiger, tribal and batik prints, that naturally complement the fabrics.

  • The WILLIAMSBURG Brand Takes a “Trend-Meets-Tradition” Approach
    The WILLIAMSBURG brand takes a “Trend-Meets-Tradition” approach to home décor inspired by the extensive design archive of the not-for-profit Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Fusing the best of American craftsmanship with international influences that accented homes of the era, WILLIAMSBURG offers a fresh take on 18th-century design, reimagining classic elements for today’s lifestyles. GARDEN IMAGES Highlighted by a magnificent watercolor painted by Georg Ehret in 1737, this botanical design captures the natural ambience of gardens in Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area. The large magnolia blossoms, flowering dogwood, and occasional butterfly are shown in multiple colors on a lightly textured field which mimics fine linen or, in one instance, cloth of gold. Six variations include cream ground with green, blue, and beige, brown ground with deep pinks and blue-greens, a charcoal ground with purples and ochres. There is also a distinctive metallic gold ground enhanced by plum accents. Dickinson Trellis or Amelia Stripe would make a handsome partner. TAUNTON TEXTURE During the 18th- century, Taunton, England, was a center for the manufacture of woolen broadcloth. This wall paper, named for that city, bears a similarity. The textured background looks like woven cloth, while vertical and horizontal faux slubs mimic the appearance and feel of earlier fabrics made from nubby hand-spun yarns. This pattern, in five palettes including beige with taupe and white, or light and medium grey with cream, offers a subtle complement to many other designs in the WILLIAMSBURG collection. For example, use with Dinwiddie Damask or with John Rocque’s London Map, circa 1740s, Mural.

  • Kalamkari, the Art of Painting with Natural Dyes

Wilson), EBSCOHOST, Google Scholar, WorldCat etc. Kalamkari, the Art of Painting with Natural Dyes Sharad Chandra Independent Researcher Kalamkari means painting with a pen. It is an exquisite form of textile art with a heritage dating back to the ancient times. The origin of the term can be traced to the early period of alliance between the Persian and Indian trade merchants which identified all painted textile art from India as Kalamkari. ‘Kalam’ is the Persian word for pen, and ‘kari’ in Urdu implies the craftsmanship involved. Hence, ‘Kalamkari’ denotes the myriad manifestations of hand painted textiles with natural dyes. The pen referred to in the term is a short piece of bamboo or date- palm stick, shaped and pointed at its end to form a nib. Created without the use of chemicals or machine Kalamkari art is entirely a handicraft using natural or vegetable dyes and metallic salts called mordants to fix the dye into the cotton fibers. An exact resist process, complex and careful dyeing, sketching and painting of the design and, occasionally, even the addition of gold or silver tinsel into it are the other integral components of this art. The Kalamkari works are mostly produced in the small towns of Kalahasti, Machilipatnam and other interior regions of Andhra Pradesh by rural craftsmen and women, and is a household occupation passed from generation to generation as heritage.

Anitha3 Department of Apparel and Textiles, College of Home Science, Acharya N.G Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU)Saifabad, Hyderabad -30, India. Part-V Abstract: This paper reports the improving the colourfastness of the natural dye with dye fixing agents, extraction of the colourants from natural sources; effects of different mordants and mordanting methods; selection of fixing agents; dyeing variables; post-treatment process and analysis of colour improvement parameters with fixing agents for cotton dyed with natural dye; assessed colour improvement with colourfastness test. Key words: Eucalyptus Bark natural dye, fixing agents, coloufastness, shade variations with dye fixing agents I. Introduction: In India, dyes from natural sources have ancient history and can trace their route to antiquity. It is interesting to note that India is one of the few civilizations to perfect the art of fixing natural dye to the cloth. Indian textiles were greatly valued and sought after for their colours and enduring qualities. Like most ancient Indian arts and crafts, part of the knowledge and expertise of natural dyes has traditionally passed down from the master crafts man to his disciples. Even though scientists have paid considerable attention in the post independence period to study the plants in relation to their pharmaceutical use, very little attention was paid to study the plants as sources of dyes and colourants.

Elaboration of dyeing processes b. Elaboration of printing process c. Degumming and washing d. Boiling e. Final processing 7. List of products 8. Appendix 1. Introduction Kalamkari is the craft of painting and printing on fabrics. It derives its name from kalam or pen with which the patterns are traced. It is an art form that was developed both for decoration and religious ornamentation. 1.1 History The discovery of a resist-dyed piece of cloth on a silver vase at the ancient site of Harappa confirms that the tradition of Kalamkari is very old. Even the ancient Buddhist Chaitya Viharas were decorated with Kalamkari cloth. Little was known about printed Indian cotton before the archeological findings at Fostat, near Cairo. The discovery unearthed a hoard of fragments of printed Indian cotton supposed to have been exported in the 18th century from the western shores of India. A study of some of these Fostat finds in 1938 by Pfisher, who traced them to India, brought to light evidence of a tradition of those fabrics that were actually block printed and resist-dyed with indigo. Before the artificial synthesis of indigo and alizerine into dyestuffs, blues and reds were traditionally extracted from the plant indigofera tinctoria and rubia tinctoria. alizerine, commonly used as a coloring agent, was found in ancient times in madder. The madder root, rubia, widely used in India and chay (chay is oldenlandia), the root of oldenlandia umbellata, were highly estimated as fine sources of red in the south.
