SUJANI- THE WEAVING ART OF BHARUCH
Hi i am at this new place called Bharuch also known as Broach...ya i am still very much in Gujarat...seeking out a little bit of craft for my readers everyday...Sujani...soft colored checks woven in contrast bright colored stripes in three dimensional pattern. The textured surface gives you the feel of 150 year old weaving art called Sujani quilt practiced only in Bharuch. There is an interesting story behind this craft which goes back to late 1860's where the native of Bharuch learnt the craft from the fellow assamese convict in Andaman jail came back and educated the fellow villagers .
Sujani is a double weave cotton fabric with cotton between 2 layers. These quilts are lost lasting and durable .The process has 2 weavers sitting on either side of the loom and weave in this meticulous craft form.
Lets support and know a little more about this craft....i hope you guys will love my post...and i will seek out something new each day for my readers.......
Thank you for this valuable input! Can you please share the address in Bharuch where i can find it? Since I am an architecture student, i was thinking of taking this crafts as a project of revitalize it in some manner! Not sure how, would love to know your views.
