When asked what makes these textiles so special, Kelly says,
“our patterns are hand screened so you can imagine how happy the artisans are to see a 90” repeat. the frames for each screen can weigh up to 75 pounds each. for instance one pattern has 32 separate screens and colors so each repeat must be passed over 32 different times. the colors are completely mixed by hand. I chose a century old Indian block printer to produce as I love the handmade beauty of the patterns and the process. What some may see as a flaw is actually a big part of the process: color variation, weave variations, and small skips and smudges are something inherent to this beautiful craft”
