Kalamkari (Kalam-pen) is a very ancient art, that originates from the state of Andhra Pradesh. Most of it is either hand-printed or block printed. Block prints are generally used when they want to repeat a motif. The speciality?! only Natural Dyes.
Do visit this shop in Sadashivnagar,Bangalore-that patronizes artists who still practice Kalamkari work. The name of the place is 'Dwaraka' and is right opposite to Food World in Sadashivnagar.
Their array of products is quite amazing, right from purses, wall hangings, mirrors, lipstick cases, pouches, files, folders, lampshades, clothes, sarees, to even Telephone Diaries- its all Kalamkari.
Help Revive this art!!
