First raw silk is dyed white, before being stretched on a frame. The silk is then hand painted, processed and fixed before being left to dry for about two days. It is then cut and made into a wide variety of items. Since everything is hand-painted and handmade, no two products are exactly alike. | First raw silk is dyed white, before being stretched on a frame.
