Benefits of Handloom
Handloom weaving had the inherent ability to imbibe positive energy into
the products. Our research proved that there is a definite improvement in
health parameters when handloom cotton is worn for longer periods of time. The
eebrgy field enhances as lot of slow processes and conscious processes positive
energy is imbibed in the product which passes on to the wearer. This kind of
clothing can be used to reduce stress as
by nature is very soothing to the
wearer. This not only will create a balance in one’s life but can also enhance
productivity in people and detox them to keep them away from stress related
ailments which are so common in today’s world.
More information and awareness of clothing like this will make more
conscious and healthy people inhabiting the globe along with all its grandeur
of flora and fauna.
Social and Economic
There is lot of
development in India in many fields. For example:
ü
Science and Technology
ü
Health and Medicine
ü
Space research
ü
Nano Technologies
....to name a few. And we
have gone far ahead in all these fields.
But, there is no major development
with the handloom weavers. Neither their life styles have improved nor the economic
conditions.
There are lot of programs
happening for the encouragement of the
weavers; by the government, NGOS, various designers, and other organisations
which by far are not improving the living conditions of the weavers.
Most of these weavers are
not aware of the government programs run
for their benefit. Also, the benefit doesn’t penetrate all levels depriving them of fair wage.
When there is good
awareness of the source, quality, and benefits of handlooms, I am sure everyone
would strive to revive our age old tradition of
handloom clothing. This would generate more demand for handlooms /
handloom integrated clothing, which will surely improve the economic conditions
of our weavers. Also, weavers will find a reason to pass on their art to the
coming generations.
What we do:
Team work
Kaumudi Studio is a team
work. Our team is not just limited to
the people who are working at the
studio, but extended to the handloom weavers, artisans - Kalahasti Kalamkari,
Pedana Kalamkari, Hand Block Printers from Rajasthan, Gujarat - Ajrak, Ikat -Hyderabad., etc. We try to connect the wearer and the weaver
for a delightful bond between the rural and the urban.
Fair Wage
Weaving is an art, it is a
craft it involves science and technology. A weaver is the most learned
craftsmen’s. He should be paid fair wage for creating something which is made
painstakingly day after day. We at Kaumudi make the weaver feel proud of his
creation by giving him his due recognition and
wage so that he comes back to the loom with more zeal and more
connection to the piece he is weaving.
