Tie-and-Dye Saree Design Work Shop Series- Day 5

The workshop in Matale reinforced essential tie-dye saree design techniques by guiding participants through fabric preparation, dye mixing, pattern creation, colour application, and finishing methods. The programme's practical structure enabled participants to understand key production principles, including colour retention, fabric suitability, and achievable pattern variations. Through live demonstrations and skill practice, participants learned how to produce visually appealing designs that meet market standards for quality and modern style. The workshop also emphasised accessible, low-cost production systems, supporting home-based enterprises and small producers in creating value-added textile products. By combining artistic exploration with entrepreneurial insight, the programme strengthened local livelihoods, encouraged micro-industries, and promoted creative textile development in Matale.
