Clamp dye techniques originally originated in Japan. In Japan it goes by the name ITAJIME. Basically it involves 3 step process of Fold-Resist with clamp-Dyeing.

In Bhuj, Gujarat, India, the clamp dye techniques came into practice about 30-35 years back. During that time, clamp dyeing techniques were used in lungi (sarong: a traditional garment worn around the waist) to produce various designs. The trend to make clamp dyed lungi lasted for about 5 years before the clamp designs went out of fashion. The dyers at that time didn’t replicate the clamp dye tech

Hello Jaipur.

I felt very happy to see our art work on display at 47-A .design - all those experiments we did with Satish Reddy over the last 3 years studying the works of different artists, re-looking at our own craft and technique in newer ways and the play of it all. Like me, there are 11 other artisans from Kachchh who worked on the project to create beautiful art-works. It was a treat to see how it all came together. Please do visit the gallery and discover the diversity of Kachchh craftsmanship.
