Recycled and Handmade Papers
that we use are primarily manufactured in villages in India. This paper is eco-friendly as it is produced mainly by recycling waste materials such as cotton rags and waste paper. Some papers are also made from regenerating plants' bark. Other natural fibres like jute, straw, banana, husk, flower petals, silk, wool and herbs are then blended with the primary fibres for a decorative effect.

Silk Screen Printing is a traditional manual technique of printmaking. The screen is made of a piece of porous, finely woven fabric (polyester or nylon has replaced the use of silk since the 1940’s) stretched over a wood frame.

The process which we follow is explained below:

  1. An original laser printed image of the design/text is placed onto a transparent overlay.
  2. This overlay is placed over an emulsion-coated screen, and then exposed to sunlight. The areas that are not opaque in the overlay allow light to reach the emulsion, which hardens and sticks to the screen.
  3. The screen is washed off thoroughly. The areas of emulsion that were not exposed to light, corresponding to the image on the overlay dissolve and wash away, leaving a negative stencil of the image attached to the screen.
  4. The screen is then placed on top of each piece of paper to be printed. Ink is poured on top of the screen, and a squeegee (rubber blade) is manually used to evenly spread the ink into the screen openings and onto the paper, then the screen is lifted away. This process is then repeated onto every individual paper.
  5. The screen can be re-used after cleaning. If more than one colour is being printed on the same surface, the ink is allowed to dry and then the process is repeated with another screen and different colour of ink.
