The fabric is then dyed. The areas which are tied or constricted resist the penetration of the dye and, when opened up, reveal unique and unusual patterns.
There are three types of tie-dye techniques practised in Kutch: the centuries-old, traditional bandhani; the Japanese-inspired Shibori and the contemporary clamp technique. Shrujan supports innovations in all three techniques.
Shrujan has taken the tie-dye of Kutch to prestigious markets and platforms such as India Art Fair and shown the world that in the hands of master tie-dyers, this craft can be playful and sophisticated; rainbow-hued and monochromatic; traditional and avant garde.
