Material Information
Silk screen printing, considered one of India's traditional printing methods, is a technique where two people work together, using a large stencil and sliding a wooden spatula to print one color at a time. Only one color is used per stencil, and the design is completed by layering colors multiple times. While screen printing is more efficient than block printing because it can print a large area at once, it requires the skill of a craftsman to control the pressure applied when layering colors and the amount of ink used. The unevenness and fluctuations that occur at the edges of the pattern are one of the charms that can only be appreciated through this handmade process.
Precautions
Because the fabrics produced in India are cut and sewn by hand, there may be slight variations in size even within the same product, and the pattern may be misaligned depending on where it is cut. Also, some products use fabrics that prioritize texture, so there may be some minor weaving imperfections or pilling. Printed items are finished by skilled craftsmen using screens or woodblocks, so there may be variations in color, unevenness, or fading depending on the weather, temperature, humidity, and condition of the fabric at the time, but these are part of the unique charm of hand-printed items. To ensure longevity, please hand wash the items. Also, please avoid using a dryer as it may damage or shrink the fabric.
