About the Design:- Varanasi Silks & Saris
Be inspired by the ancient silk weavers of Varanasi, India, and cultivate your creative side with this beautiful journal honouring those skilled artists. Steeped in tradition, this exquisite design will wrap your own words and creative impulses in the masterful technique of Indian textile creation.
Like many Asian countries, India has weaving techniques and silks unique to its state. The region of Varanasi is known throughout the country for its very fine silk and in ancient times, the embroidery was woven with threads of pure gold. It’s no surprise that the beauty of the Varanasi saris makes them a popular choice for weddings and key life events in Indian culture.
At one time, as many as 300,000 weavers were in this area of northern India. Today fewer than 40,000 remain, as younger generations opt for nontraditional careers. This awe-inspiring silk-weaving technique is in danger of becoming a dying art, giving us all the more reason to treasure these precious silks.
Together, let’s celebrate the sumptuousness of the silken folds only Varanasi can produce.
