MARG Magazine is launching its special issue, 'Colours of Nature: Dyes from the Indian Subcontinent', in Kolkata, India, in mid February, 2014. This is based on SUTRA's RAKSHA event of February 2010, when VRIKSHA focused on natural dyes and on the exciting rediscovery, in Kolkata's Botanical Survey of India, of unique long-lost nineteenth century volumes of naturally dyed cloth and fibre samples by master dyer Thomas Wardle, and a rare set of textile samples compiled by John Forbes Watson. For this noteworthy launch SUTRA is planning events that include talks, exhibitions, natural dye and weaving demonstrations and sales of naturally-dyed and hand-crafted products. Details will be posted on the SUTRA website shortly http://www.sutratextilestudies.com
