Qalamkari; Traditional Art of Making Hand-Painted Textile (7)

People in small workshops, especially in Khorzuq city, weave the cotton textile of Qalamkari. The artists print patterns on the fabrics using stamps made of pear or hawthorn wood smeared with natural, herbal colours.

The Qalamkari textile is then washed and dried before being sent to the shops.
