The way you interviewed the artisan to share the information to the viewers is excellent. There is absolutely no unnecessary blabbering like the present day anchors do in their shows. Hats off to you for your presentation skills. I also request you to do documentary on Kolkata hand painted sarees.
Hi Pratibha, Thank you so much for the compliments. When I see these encouraging comments, they make me feel that my efforts are payed off. Thank you so much. Really means a lot to me🤗 I will have to travel to Kolkata to create. document on those sarees. Will keep it in my mind and work on it in the future 😊
That is true. They need appreciation and exposure. That's the reason I work hard on creating these documentaries. I'm glad to know that my work in inspirational. There is another documentary on Bagru. You may like to watch that ruclips.net/video/ydmJaTVi-4c/видео.html
A big Thanks to you Arpitha …just loved the video ! A very good initiative for helping such amazingly skilled artisans of our country. We must all do our bit to bring them to the front so that their skill is given due and worthy recognition by all.
I ordered from these artists after seeing this video . They are honest , hardworking and supremely talented ! Thanks for making this video and sharing contact information
I'm so happy that you liked my initiative. Please do buy from him. They are really good people. They welcomed me into their home with open arms.. they have lot of skill but very less help. Please do share it with others so it is more helpful for everyone.. thank you so much 😊 it really means a lot to me..🤗🤗
Arpitha Rai it goes without saying that I will most definitely share it with my friends and family. I just am in love with the way you conducted the interview and how professional you were with your questions. Also the way you made Mr Chandra's family comfortable enough to be open about their art and way of living. It was raw and stark and the fact that it didn't have frills to it made the whole thing more compelling and the narration took on a more realistic outlook. I hope you consider doing more documentaries because you have an aptitude for it.
Oh wow!! You have noticed so much in the video and such a good feedback! Thank you so much.. your good words are really encouraging. I'm very happy that you'll share this video.. thanks a lot. I will try to create more documentaries in future. My only worry is, will people like to watch such long videos?
Arpitha Rai If the content is good, then it is a simple yes. Always add on subtitles and by making it interactive i.e, asking viewers opinions and questions as well as perhaps having polls on what to do the next video on will help loads because the audience knows that you are engaging with them and that our thoughts do matter to you. It is a slow process but ultimately a fulfilling one of you enjoy being in front of the camera as well as the back . :)
The final work came in the frame. And then my heart skipped a beat. Thank you for this video. I have been really looking to buy handpainted Kalamkari and saw many options online (Fabindia has one selling for Rs.2999/-), but had many doubts. This video is not just educational but also makes it so easy to purchase. Also, the fact that the money is going directly to the artist is very gratifying, especially how the ground reality is (explained so succinctly by Chandra ji) Thanks a zillion :)
Devika, thank you so much for such nice words.. I look for this kind of support to work on more such videos. These fabrics are generally expensive than the regular mill made ones as the whole process is such an intricate one.. these brands will definitely add their margins as they have to advertise, maintain a big store and get the customers to buy.. it's just business.. so my main goal through this video was to guide my audience to the artisan directly..I get messages from them saying people are calling them from different parts of India n buying fabric from them. Such a satisfaction it is 😇😇
Awesome video. Lot of hardwork you have put in. You are so thoughtful for subtitles. I never miss your vlog. You are helpful to artisans and to viewers buy sharing their contact details. Thanks a lot🙏
😃I am very happy that you liked the video. I will be more than happy If you order from him. I have recently created a documentary on Bagru block prints (ruclips.net/video/ydmJaTVi-4c/видео.html) You may like to watch that too. I am planning to create more detailed documentaries.
Thanks for making this video. Thanks Chandra garu for making good Kalamkari sarees. Bought couple of sarees and they’re really good, an awesome surprise for wifey’s birthday!
😊😊Thank you for this message. It means a lot to me. I'm trying in small way what I can. There is another video on Bagru block printing that I created recently. I feel you may like that. ruclips.net/video/um7DSBMCDC8/видео.html
Hi Mam, in silk which fabric is used(like tussar and what would be the quality of fabric) since I wanted to buy genuine good quality kalamkari product, can you pls guide me on this? Loved your video btw .
Hi, Ma'am. Very descriptive and very informative documentary on the talented hardworking artisans of the beautiful art. 👏 👏 . Thanks to you for your effort. I hope to contact Mr. CHANDRA soon 🙏 .
Really appreciate your work ...for once I can see a platform where you hv made it transparent to buy directly from artisans ... Hv been looking for such.kalamkari artists. Thank you do much . Keep up your work
Hi Arpitha! Watching this documentary has been no less than a treat to my eyes. We'd definitely love to watch more such documentaries. Keep up the good work. I really liked it. Lots of love ❤️🌼
Thank you so much for the nice words for me and liking the video. I'm working on Bagru block print and Bandhini fabrics from Rajasthan right now. That video will come soon. Turn on the bell notifications for updates. ❤️🤗🤗
I felt responsible as I know about the craft and many people out there do not know. I immediately traveled to Srikalahasthi to create this documentary. I am happy that many people are getting to see this video. I am sure they are understanding the intricacy of this beautiful fabric. I am happy that you liked this video. Please share with others 😊 Let my efforts reach more people
Thank you 😊 imagine this is only one family's story. There are many others out there. Many families are leaving this beautiful art because they are unable to make a living out of it. This video is a small effort from my end 🙏🏼
Thank you 😊 imagine this is only one family's story. There are many others out there. Many families are leaving this beautiful art because they are unable to make a living out of it. This video is a small effort from my end 🙏🏼
Price differs from design to design and the cost they bear to create that particular product. If I mention the prices of what I have shown, the same product might not be available with them when you order. So no use 😃
Seriously our Indians r very talented,they never gets recognisation,see they r very simple,here if we have yo buy any hand-painted kalamkari saree very expensive like10000,i think they won't get that much profit, buyers gets for lesser price,and they sale for higher price...
So true. That is the reason I'm trying to do these documentaries and show how much work goes into it, how much value it has. There is direct contact number of this artisan is given in the video description from the day 1 I posted this video. Please call him up n get in touch.
Thank you so much. I want to do so many more documentaries. Lockdowns n pandemic is holding me back. There is recent one about indigo block prints: ruclips.net/video/ydmJaTVi-4c/видео.html You might like this as well.
😃Thank you so much..I am working on sustainable fashion right now. These fabrics fall into that category. watch my latest videos to get the awareness of the same. Planning for new documentary 😊 keep checking my updates..
I'll be the happiest if you do that. When you purchase, please do mention my name and how you got to know about him. He will understand my efforts. Thank you 😊
You are most welcome. Thank you for liking my video. It means a lot. Please share the video with others and they will understand the work and buy directly from the artisan.
I would suggest to google for workshops on kalamkari hand painting. You can contact the artist and request if they would like to take workshops for fee.
Thank you for liking the video. Mr.Chandra lives in Srikalahasti. His details are mentioned in the description box below. the video. You can contact him directly for any orders. I will be very happy if you buy something g from him. It really helps uplift the craft and the artisans.
Don't worry about asking questions. In the description of this video I've given details of artisan. You can contact him directly. He will share pictures and courier the selected product.
Loved the whole video..very informative but it was too sad to know there is no help from such artists from government to save our handlooms....Arts...n cultures...
Mam around what will be the price of these sarees approx if we are buying from artisan themselves,we want to give them work ,it is just that if it is overbudget and we ask them to Whatsapp and than come to know his charges are very high than better to buy from shops
Nice video Arpitha, need help to know how to get rid of the smell of this kalamkari cloth. I am not able to use my dupatta which I bought from an artisan.
Hey Anupama, that smell comes because of the raw milk n the seed paste which they apply before getting started with the painting. All that mixture helps the colour to stick to the fabric. With washes the smell should go. I have a video explaining how to carefully wash kalamkari : ruclips.net/video/axpBEgJaxV0/видео.html
As Kalam means pen and Kari means work. So I want to know all that why it is named like that? I mean is there any sharp outline done with pen or is it done by it's basic outline sketch with pen ???
You got the meaning correct. There is a special pen made to draw with the natural dyes in Kalamkari hand painting technique. They do the outlines first with tamarind coal made into small sticks (like pencils) then they draw with the special pen using natural dyes. They do the filling with natural dyes as last step. It is just like doing painting on canvas but they do it on fabric and create beautiful clothing for us.
Thank you so much. please share this video with others for awareness. I strongly feel everyone should know the struggles go into creating this craft and give reasonable price to it.
I am working with more artisans for documentaries. You can watch them here: ow.ly/BrrF50EH03C
Thank you so much for the video. Excellent Art..

Don't worry about asking questions. In the description of this video I've given details of artisan. You can contact him directly. He will share pictures and courier the selected product.
If you buy from him, it will help him to get full amount without any commission to mediator. I'm trying to do my part of help to the artisan 😊
Arpitha Rai oh that is good , will he be able to give me if I buy in wholesale and will he be able to talk in Hindi
He takes bulk orders. His daughter is studying engineering. I'm sure she can communicate in English. They will manage.

Intresting
Thank you 😊
Wow beautiful
Thank you 😊
Nice video Arpitha, need help to know how to get rid of the smell of this kalamkari cloth. I am not able to use my dupatta which I bought from an artisan.
Hey Anupama, that smell comes because of the raw milk n the seed paste which they apply before getting started with the painting. All that mixture helps the colour to stick to the fabric. With washes the smell should go. I have a video explaining how to carefully wash kalamkari : ruclips.net/video/axpBEgJaxV0/видео.html
Salt water dip should take the most of the smell away. Won't go in one wash. It needs some washes though
As Kalam means pen and Kari means work. So I want to know all that why it is named like that? I mean is there any sharp outline done with pen or is it done by it's basic outline sketch with pen ???
You got the meaning correct. There is a special pen made to draw with the natural dyes in Kalamkari hand painting technique. They do the outlines first with tamarind coal made into small sticks (like pencils) then they draw with the special pen using natural dyes. They do the filling with natural dyes as last step. It is just like doing painting on canvas but they do it on fabric and create beautiful clothing for us.
@@arpitharai Thank you 😍😘
How to order
Phone number of the artisan is given in the description box.
Which state famous for kalamkari???
Andhra Pradesh.
Can u provide me an information difference in masulipatnam and srikalashi kalamkari??
Artisans in Machilipatnam create block printed Kalamkari. Srikalahasti is for hand drawn Kalamkari 😊
Thank u so much
@@arpitharai nice video
Gd work mam..😊
Thank you so much. please share this video with others for awareness. I strongly feel everyone should know the struggles go into creating this craft and give reasonable price to it.
