Craft Traditions of Kutch

An enduring conversation
with crafts

01 / 04

Embroidery

Ahir · Suf · Paako

Each village of Kutch stitches its own signature: Suf counted from the reverse, Paako worked tight from the front, Aabhla caging a mirror in thread.

02 / 04

Block print

Hand block · Carved wood · Cotton

Cloth printed by hand with carved wooden blocks, the pattern laid down one press at a time along its length.

Explore Crafts

03 / 04

Discharge print

Dyed cloth · Discharge paste · By hand

The cloth is dyed first; a paste laid on by hand lifts the colour away, and the pattern shows where it was, a lighter shade of the cloth.

04 / 04

Weaving

Handloom · Extra weft · Kutch

Woven on the handlooms of Kutch, its motifs picked into the cloth with an extra weft, as its weavers have done for generations.
