About the Art:

The Chamba Rumal or Chamba handkerchief is an embroidered handicraft that was once promoted under the patronage of the former rulers of Chamba Kingdom.

Known as a "needle wonder" or 'needle painting", Chamba Rumal is made in square and rectangular shapes. The materials used still consist of muslin, malmal, khaddar (a coarse fabric), fine charcoal or brush, and silk threads without knots.

Using a double satin stitch (dorukha) for the embroidery, both faces of the cloth are concurrently stitched by a forward and backward technique to maintain uniformity of design on both faces of the rumal. After completing the embroidery, the fabric is stitched with a border of about 2 to 4 inches on all sides. 

This speciality called dorukha embroidery (double-faced), came from Kashmir to take root in Basohli and Chamba, but the inspiration was taken from the fabled miniature paintings of the region. 

Popular themes are Rasmandala, Ashtanayika and other stories around Krishna.

Trained Pahadi miniature artists draw the outlines in charcoal and suggest colour schemes which is then skillfully embroidered by the embroiderer.

What we learn:

In this workshop, we will learn about different stitches, motifs, florals, techniques and subjects of Chamba Rumal alongwith its history and development.

We will create a 20"x20" rumal with a Holi theme, depicted with Krishna throwing colors on Radha. 

You will receive a kit with 10 colors of silk thread, 2x2 ft fabric marked with the design and border (one extra fabric unmarked) and a needle.

About the artist:

We will train under state awardee artist Indu Sharma ji who will join us LIVE from Chamba. Indu Sharma is among the most skilful artists in Chamba and has received state- and national-level recognition for her Chamba rumal embroidery.

She is working since the age of 19, receiving her training in the craft from veteran artist Kamala Nayyar.

Light weight and large privacy screen
Color: Black, Color: Black
The privacy screen is light weight and of great quality. The screen can block sight and also is easy to set up. It screen is sturdy and stable. It is a cheap solution for separating paces in rooms. The privacy screen is of black color and good good in many places. It can be folded when not used and does not take much space for storage.

Over all review
Color: Black
It’s not a bad divider, the instructions are okay but once I figured it out on my own it was easy. The quality is fine I like how it’s made of metal. The only downside is fall for me is the height. I’m 5”4” yet it’s suppose to be 6 feet tall but it seems to be a little shorter than that. If it was taller and the instructions a little more clear it would get 5 stars.
