Tie-and-Dye Saree Design Work Shop Series- Day 18

Continuing the series, the workshop in Kurunegala focused on essential tie-dye saree design techniques, including fabric preparation, dye formulation, pattern folding, colour application, and finishing processes. Participants received practical guidance to understand fabric behaviour, achieve consistent colours, and create unique, marketable designs. Through hands-on exercises and demonstrations, attendees developed skills to produce modern, visually striking sarees suitable for commercial markets. The workshop also emphasized accessible, low-cost production strategies to support home-based producers and small-scale entrepreneurs. By combining technical expertise with business-oriented knowledge, the programme strengthened opportunities for income generation, encouraged micro-enterprise development, and contributed to sustainable textile innovation in Kurunegala.
