Kalamkari Art uses no chemicals or machines; therefore, natural dyes and metallic salts called mordants used to fix the dye into the cotton fibres are essential for this craft. An exact resist process, a complex procedure of 23 or more steps like, cloth treating, sketching, dyeing, printing, multiple washing steps, and even the gold or silver brocade work are integral components of Kalamkari art. In Srikalahasti, Machilipatnam and other interior regions of Andhra Pradesh, Kalamkari Painting is a generational household occupation passed from fathers to their sons.
Today, we shall explore the extensive processes involved in creating a Kalamkari Painting from cloth preparation to sketching to creating natural colours. Sit back and learn all about the various steps involved in a Kalamkari Painting with master artist, Siva Reddy. From State Awards to UNESCO-CCI's Seal of Excellence, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of artistic achievement. His inclusion in the Limca Book of Records for an artwork featuring 1926 characters from the Mahabharata and Ramayana is a testament to his creativity.
