Taigore Batik & Block Printing Producer Company Limited

You can find Taigore Batik & Block Printing Producer Company Limited at 370 Nimanvasa on Maksi Road. This place is mostly about the craft of printing on fabric. We use traditional batik and block printing methods, which takes a lot of patience and a steady hand. The workshop is usually filled with the smell of dyes and the sound of wooden blocks hitting the tables. It’s a very hands-on process, so our clothes and hands often end up with a few splashes of color. Being out on Maksi Road gives us enough space to spread out the long pieces of cloth so they can dry properly after they’ve been dyed. We aren't a big corporate setup; it's more like a group of local people who know how to work with these designs. Every block is carved by hand, and every batch of batik comes out a little bit different, which is just the way it goes with this kind of work. It’s not fast, and we don’t try to make it fast. We just focus on getting the patterns right. The building at Nimanvasa is where we store our materials and do all the actual printing. It’s a simple setup but it works for us. We’ve been here for a while and the locals know the sounds of our work. If you walk past, you’ll probably see us hanging up colorful fabrics in the sun to dry out.
