Description

Tussar Ghicha Handspun Handloom: An abundance of Handspun tussar and gheecha textiles and intricate motifs using a unique Jaala technique is what makes this cluster special. The Gopalpur cluster is about 400 years old and fabrics are designed in tussar and ghicha and enhanced with an extra weft technique. Another artisanal skill is their use of hand spun and hand reeled yarns which is done mostly by the female artisans of the family.

Ikat is the craft of weaving with tie-dyed yarns to create colorfully patterned textiles. It is a way to resist dye. In Odisha, the ikat technique is popularly known as Bandha – the local word for tying.
