The work of motifs and prints itself is a completely different world and the industrial visit to Bherugarh’s Batik Prints and Block Handprint workshop on 23rd September 2018 was a peek into it. The Batik print is an age-old craft of wax-resist dyeing and printing which is believed to have been practiced in the countries like Egypt, Japan, and India for over 2000 years. The local craftsmen gave the students an overview of how the entire process of Batik print is carried out by the extremely skilled artisans and the importance of every minute detail in the process. The hand made designs and the precision which was used absolutely mesmerized all the students. Just after a small demonstration, some of the students got into the shoes of the native people and tried their hands at block printing and coloring of fabric. The visit ended with everybody purchasing cloth material from the enormous range which was put on display. The visit helped the students get a peek into the ancient art form and its resistance throughout the ages.
