Textile Story

Ajrakh is a form of traditional hand block printing and resist dyeing using indigo, madder and printed mordants. Ajrakh designs are easily recognisable by their bold geometric repeats, in combinations of centre field and border designs. These symmetrical patterns are printed and dyed in natural red and black, with the white cloth resisted on a dark indigo blue background. Any variations or irregularities are part of the design and inherent to the production process.
