Fabric from plants and flowers

Anuradha Singh is an expert in eco-printing, a a method by which she extracts natural dye from a plant and transfers it onto fabrics like silk and cotton. Wispy stoles, attractive cushions and table runners are made from the fabric Anuradha dyes.

She creates botanical or eco-prints, going on long walks in her neighbourhood and foraging for a variety of plants.

Dyes are extracted from those plants and then patterned onto fabric in her studio. So each piece is unique. All are prints of leaves and flowers, created by hand. Only natural fibres are used and there is zero waste.

“Each leaf, fabric or colour used has a journey attached to it. To create with natural resources adds a deeper connection to the art,” she says.

Ecological dyeing is a process by which dyes are produced from fruits, flowers and plants for clothing, linen and even paper. “It’s an alchemy of natural dyes,” according to Anuradha.
