The Exquisite Craftsmanship
The word Kalamkari is made up of two terms, 'Kalam' meaning 'Pen' and 'Kari' meaning 'work'. Hence the word Kalamkari literally translates to Pen work or brushwork. Kalamkari work is one of the main traditional works of India and is represented in many art forms of the country even today such as heritage fibres and paintings. The exclusive characteristic of a Kalamkari shawl would definitely be the fine details and the careful mix of colours in this intricate hand-drawn pen work.
Designing from Kalamkaar: When a Pashmina is chosen for Kalamkari, it has to be sent to a Kalamkar(a specialist of Kalamkari).
Selecting the Pen: The Kalamkar uses materials like bamboo or other wooden pens with flat nibs called Kalams, dips them in inks that are made from vegetable-derived pigments, and creates marvellous designs all over the lush fabric.
Designs: Usually large paisleys are printed in a plethora of different colours are handpainted over the base, but other motifs are used as well.
Origin: Kalamkari Shawls are believed to originate from Northers states of India.
In Kashmir: It wasn't until the 18th century that Kalamkari was done over Kashmiri Pashmina shawls. What is special about Kashmiri Kalamkari work is that when done over a Pashmina shawl, it is later hand embroidered in multicoloured threads to make the motifs more prominent and beautiful.
