Rogan Art Wall Piece

Painted in castor oil paste, Nirona

Rogan is painted with a paste made by boiling castor oil for twelve hours and quenching it in cold water, then mixing the resulting resin with mineral pigment. The artist lifts a thread of it on a blunt metal stylus and lays it onto the cloth without the stylus ever touching the surface, drawing in the air above the fabric.

Rizwan Khatri drew this piece freehand over three weeks in Nirona, then folded the cloth to print its mirror image on the other half - the traditional way a Rogan motif is doubled. Only one extended family still practises the craft. This edition is sold out; join the waitlist and we will write when the next one comes off the frame.

    The note with the printer’s name made it

    The Ajrakh runner is beautiful, but what I keep telling people about is the card that came with it naming Juned Khatri and the village. Dispatch took nine days exactly as stated, and the GST invoice showed the artisan share. I have bought three more things since.

    Waited seven months for the Patola

    I grew up seeing Patola at weddings and always assumed the real thing was out of reach. Bharatbhai sent photographs from the loom every few weeks. The reverse is identical to the front, which is the test. Expensive, and completely fair.

    Cushion is lovely, do read the size note

    The Suf embroidery is finer than anything I have found in Delhi emporiums and the mirrors are properly set, not glued. My only note is that the cover ran about a centimetre small against my insert - they did say handwork varies, so read that line seriously.

    The bells actually ring as a set

    Ordered the set of three copper bells on a whim and they genuinely sound tuned to each other. Paid Cash on Delivery, arrived in Kochi in five days after dispatch, packed in cloth and straw rather than plastic. Ordering the brass lamp next.
