INTACH Conservation Institute Lecture Series 'Conservation Insights 2020’ was delivered on 15th July at 16.00 IST via Zoom
Speaker: Bessie Cecil (Textile researcher, conservator, artist, designer)

The title of the talk: Colours of nature on textile

India's natural dye tradition has spanned several thousand years. India's dye masters had perfected the art of using colourfast dyes in a palette of rainbow colours by the use of mordants, substances to fix dyes onto cloth, a tradition that had been passed on from generation to generation in India but with no written records. India indeed clothed most of the known world in brilliant hues of colours taken from nature.
