ABOUT ME BRIJ BALLABH UDAIWAL
ABOUT ME BRIJ BALLABH UDAIWAL
I belong to a family of traditional textile block printers from Sanganer. Sanganer – place which is well known throughout the world for its fine printing with wooden blocks on fabrics.
Being a National Award Winner, year 1991( National Award is conferred to the Crafts persons and weavers in recognition of their outstanding contribution, craftsmanship & development of craft) I have been actively involved and working for the up-liftment of craftsmen by running various educational and vocational training centers. I am also energetically involved in the developments which are taking place regarding the future of hand-block printing in Sanganer and providing employment to 85 odd units dealing in hand-block printing, hand embroidery and stitching which are located in Jaipur, Sanganer, Bagru and near by places and treats every craft person as the original creator of the design and the process because he is the one who knows his job well and has been doing it since ages and thus can create things which are truly his own creations.
I am currently running an NGO in the name of Shilpi Sansthan.
Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO in Sanganer, Jaipur, Rajasthan that for 14 years has been working in the economic development of the surrounding rural area as well as the continued survival and competitiveness of hand-made textiles. It is supported by 13 members and run by 3 officers. All of these are members of the local textile business community and help to financially support the NGO. The organization sees traditional textile manufacturing methods as under threat, and is working to save the same by providing livelihood to the local area at the same time. This is done through providing a common front for some members of the local textile community and the organization and support of 12 Self-Help Groups(SHGs) set up in villages around Sanganer. These groups have been taught to do hand work on textiles and sell them to the local textile distributors. The NGO also makes connections between these labor forces and textile distributors, and connections between the distributors themselves with the goal of helping all. It was founded by myself and I act as secretary and also own a local textile distribution firm, Shilpi, A House of Textiles. This brings a certain business aspect to the NGO and its goals, although the NGO itself, however, cannot officially give financial support to the workers because of its status as a non-profit organization. Instead it organizes the groups and connects them to buyers, or I buy the textiles through Shilpi House of Textiles. Shilpi Sansthan’s SHGs are made up entirely of women from the local farming communities who have come to me in order to start SHGs to create additional income. They receive training and support to do handwork on textiles and sell them to local distributors
Design development and training with handloom Weavers and Handicraft artisans are some favorite areas of work profile. Providing services such for textile dyeing and textile hand block printing with vegetable dyes are also part of my profile.
We manufacturer and exporter of all types of bed cover, pillows, cushions, cushion covers and hand block printed quilts ( Hand Block Printed Home Textiles & Furnishings, Handicrafts and Gifts )
I am always looking for avenues that provides ample opportunity to showcase the excellence of Natural/Vegetable Dyeing and Printing Handicrafts at International as well as National platforms.

hand block printed
SHILPI's range of hand block printed home furnishings that include duvet covers, bed spreads, drapes, cushion covers, curtains, pillow covers, table cloths, valances and shower curtains are sourced from the desert state of Rajasthan, where entire villages derive their livelihood from the craft of hand block printing. One gets the sense of being caught in a time warp as camel drawn carts, laden with logs of shesham and bales of fabric, sashay their way down chaotic dusty streets, enabling with every step the metamorphosis of their cargo into gorgeously hued hand block printed textiles.
The block-printed cottons of Jaipur have been renowned for their exquisite pattern, and coloring for at least two hundred and fifty years. Traditional prints favored greatly by the Mughal Emperors and their imperial courts, featured delicate floral sprays, spaced evenly on a white, pastel blue or yellow ground of fine cotton. While designing our collection of home furnishings it has been our endeavor to fuse traditional flavor with a good dose of modern aesthetic sensibility.
The tradition of hand block printing has continued to exist on a parallel universe, stubbornly resistant to industrialization, and is to this day practiced without the aid of mechanization or computerization. It is this defiant indifference to mechanization that gives block printing the aura of a pure craft form and makes block printed textiles so esteemed. Traditionally these textiles played an integral part of village life. However, with the introduction of mill prints and easy to maintain wash and wear synthetics, these textiles are gradually losing their appeal to the village consumer. It is only a growing appreciation of this craft in urban and export markets that is keeping this ebbing craft alive.

Design development and training with handloom Weavers and Handicraft artisans are some favorite areas of my work profile.
Sanganeri prints all are made with natural dyes
SANGANER: A small town near Jaipur, the area is known for small decorative floral designs called boota and bootie. Printers from here always supplied the royal court. Traditionally in produced fine small floral motifs white backgrounds for the royal court,
Sanganer hand block printing known the world-over by its name has been recognised Internationally its traditional style of printing as Sanganeri block prints. hand-block printed fabrics great heights in the 16th and century in all European countries became one of the greatest exported by the East India Company,thereby making the Sanganer print 500 years old.The process of hand block is very elaborate and interesting.Shortened now due to technology,earlier it used to take six months produce printed cloth! Natural along with natural fabric, for the skin. They do a job of improving the human body’aura. Natural dyes are used on fabrics. Natural dyes are the extracted from plants and minerals. Many of the natural dyes medicinal as they are extracted herbs, which have an endless list therapeutic benefits.
Vegetable dyeing and printing
Vegetable dyeing and printing has been developed without using any harmful synthetic/chemical product for dying & printing processing of a textile product at any stage with a sole aim to avoid these synthetic/chemical products that not only disturb our ecology the Mother Nature but also harmful for us. This is a perfect combination of ancient wisdom and the latest present time technologies available to we human beings. For that matter we only use Natural Dyes, especially herbs with their known traditional medicinal properties with the help of latest machinery applications for overcoming all the limitations attached to the Natural Dyes (such as Harad, Manjith, Anar Chilka, Tesu, Katha, Indigo Neem , Babool , Annatto, Turmeric, Patang, Red sandal wood e.t.c.),the rich tradition of natural dyes was gradually lost in 1856 Sir William Perkin discovered the first synthetic colouring: malvein. Synthetic dyes were simpler and less costly to produce,
Vegetable dyes are pioneer craft, one of its dye indigo was found almost 7000 years ago which become cool in summer and hot in winter and also made fabric with soothing smell.
Vegetable dyes are biodegradable dyes they are harmless unlike chemical dyes. This age-old process requires a particular attitude and special skills.
Vegetable dyes are colours that ARE MADE BY MAN FROM ALL THE ECO FRIENDLY FRUITS FLOWERS FOOD STUFF, THAT MOTHER NATURE AND THE SUN GOD HAVE CREATED IN ABUNDANCE FOR USE BY MANKIND.
These are non-harmful to human beings, and many of them are found in ayurvedic medicine recipes, another ancient tradition. Therefore it is possible to say that these materials used in the dyeing process have beneficial effects.
For example, the tannin used as a mordant is a powerful antiseptic; the turmeric revitalises the skin; and the indigo (Indigofera tinctoria) yields a cooling sensation and is relaxing. Water used is stored after each step of the dyeing process and recycled for agricultural use.
The Colours of Nature intends to take a holistic approach to the use of natural dyes, integrating all aspects of the process. From archaeological discoveries we know for certain that civilisations of Central Asia, China and South America were using dyes of organic origin 5,000 years ago. For many centuries an important sector of world agricultural production was dedicated to the provision of raw materials for this industry.
The awareness of Natural/Organic products is on the all time high as of today in the International market. This technology will add distinctive new dimensions to our sick textile units as the way we have perceived this technology; this can blend beautifully with all kinds of natural textile products. We are already getting amazing response from our International contacts in this context.
Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO
Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO in Sanganer jaipur rajasthan india that for 14 years has worked in the economic development of the surrounding rural area as well as the continued survival and competitiveness of hand-made textiles. It is supported by 13 members and run by 3 officers. All of these are members of the local textile business community and help to financially support the NGO. The organization sees traditional textile manufacturing methods as under threat, and is working to save the mand provide livelihood to the local area at the same time. This is done through providing a common front for some members of the local textile community and the organization and support of 12 self-help groups(SHGs) set up in villages around Sanganer. These groups have been taught to do hand work on textiles and sell them to the local textile distributors. The NGO also makes connections between these labor forces and textile distributors, and connections between the distributors them selves with the goal of helping all. It was founded by its current secretary Brij Ballabh Udaiwal, who also owns a local textile distributor,Shilpi House of Textiles. This brings a certain business aspect to the NGO and its goals, although the NGO itself, however, cannot officially give financial support to the workers because of its status as a non-profit organization. Instead it organizes the groups and connects them to buyers, or Brij buys the textiles through Shilpi House of Textiles. Shilpi Sansthan’s SHGs are made up entirely of women from the local farming communities who have come to Brij in order to start SHGs to create additional income. They receive training and support to do handwork on textiles and sell them to local distributors. The training period of each one of these groups lasts three years, during which time Brij buys the textiles himself though his business or finds other buyers. After this period it is the SHG’s own responsibility to find buyers and to get their fabric. Each SHG has their own officers who run the group on day-by-day basis, and are trained to handle most of the marketing and buying. Even after the training period, Shilpi Sansthan also provides them with access to insurance at reduced premiums (partially paid for by Shilpi Sansthan) and helps them in dealing with banks. Since farming does not always offer security in Rajasthan, the women’s involvement with the SHGs provides some security in their livelihood.
Exports Potential / Foreign Revenue Generation
The awareness and acceptability of Natural / Organic products have increased manifold in the recent past and still growing tremendously especially in the developed countries. This kind of consumer products not only have great acknowledgement but also command premium price. For that matter we have got a very positive feedback from countries like U.S.A., GERMANY & JAPAN. There are so many chain stores, which deal only in these kinds of products.

Sanganer hand block printing known the world-over by its name has been recognised Internationally its traditional style of printing as Sanganeri block prints. hand-block printed fabrics great heights in the 16th and century in all European countries became one of the greatest exported by the East India Company,thereby making the Sanganer print 500 years old.The process of hand block is very elaborate and interesting.Shortened now due to technology,earlier it used to take six months produce printed cloth! Natural along with natural fabric, for the skin. They do a job of improving the human body’aura. Natural dyes are used on fabrics. Natural dyes are the extracted from plants and minerals. Many of the natural dyes medicinal as they are extracted herbs, which have an endless list therapeutic benefits.
Vegetable dyeing and printing
Vegetable dyeing and printing has been developed without using any harmful synthetic/chemical product for dying & printing processing of a textile product at any stage with a sole aim to avoid these synthetic/chemical products that not only disturb our ecology the Mother Nature but also harmful for us. This is a perfect combination of ancient wisdom and the latest present time technologies available to we human beings. For that matter we only use Natural Dyes, especially herbs with their known traditional medicinal properties with the help of latest machinery applications for overcoming all the limitations attached to the Natural Dyes (such as Harad, Manjith, Anar Chilka, Tesu, Katha, Indigo Neem , Babool , Annatto, Turmeric, Patang, Red sandal wood e.t.c.),the rich tradition of natural dyes was gradually lost in 1856 Sir William Perkin discovered the first synthetic colouring: malvein. Synthetic dyes were simpler and less costly to produce,
Vegetable dyes are pioneer craft, one of its dye indigo was found almost 7000 years ago which become cool in summer and hot in winter and also made fabric with soothing smell.
Vegetable dyes are biodegradable dyes they are harmless unlike chemical dyes. This age-old process requires a particular attitude and special skills.
Vegetable dyes are colours that ARE MADE BY MAN FROM ALL THE ECO FRIENDLY FRUITS FLOWERS FOOD STUFF, THAT MOTHER NATURE AND THE SUN GOD HAVE CREATED IN ABUNDANCE FOR USE BY MANKIND.
These are non-harmful to human beings, and many of them are found in ayurvedic medicine recipes, another ancient tradition. Therefore it is possible to say that these materials used in the dyeing process have beneficial effects.
For example, the tannin used as a mordant is a powerful antiseptic; the turmeric revitalises the skin; and the indigo (Indigofera tinctoria) yields a cooling sensation and is relaxing. Water used is stored after each step of the dyeing process and recycled for agricultural use.
The Colours of Nature intends to take a holistic approach to the use of natural dyes, integrating all aspects of the process. From archaeological discoveries we know for certain that civilisations of Central Asia, China and South America were using dyes of organic origin 5,000 years ago. For many centuries an important sector of world agricultural production was dedicated to the provision of raw materials for this industry.
The awareness of Natural/Organic products is on the all time high as of today in the International market. This technology will add distinctive new dimensions to our sick textile units as the way we have perceived this technology; this can blend beautifully with all kinds of natural textile products. We are already getting amazing response from our International contacts in this context.
Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO
Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO in Sanganer jaipur rajasthan india that for 14 years has worked in the economic development of the surrounding rural area as well as the continued survival and competitiveness of hand-made textiles. It is supported by 13 members and run by 3 officers. All of these are members of the local textile business community and help to financially support the NGO. The organization sees traditional textile manufacturing methods as under threat, and is working to save the mand provide livelihood to the local area at the same time. This is done through providing a common front for some members of the local textile community and the organization and support of 12 self-help groups(SHGs) set up in villages around Sanganer. These groups have been taught to do hand work on textiles and sell them to the local textile distributors. The NGO also makes connections between these labor forces and textile distributors, and connections between the distributors them selves with the goal of helping all. It was founded by its current secretary Brij Ballabh Udaiwal, who also owns a local textile distributor,Shilpi House of Textiles. This brings a certain business aspect to the NGO and its goals, although the NGO itself, however, cannot officially give financial support to the workers because of its status as a non-profit organization. Instead it organizes the groups and connects them to buyers, or Brij buys the textiles through Shilpi House of Textiles. Shilpi Sansthan’s SHGs are made up entirely of women from the local farming communities who have come to Brij in order to start SHGs to create additional income. They receive training and support to do handwork on textiles and sell them to local distributors. The training period of each one of these groups lasts three years, during which time Brij buys the textiles himself though his business or finds other buyers. After this period it is the SHG’s own responsibility to find buyers and to get their fabric. Each SHG has their own officers who run the group on day-by-day basis, and are trained to handle most of the marketing and buying. Even after the training period, Shilpi Sansthan also provides them with access to insurance at reduced premiums (partially paid for by Shilpi Sansthan) and helps them in dealing with banks. Since farming does not always offer security in Rajasthan, the women’s involvement with the SHGs provides some security in their livelihood.
Exports Potential / Foreign Revenue Generation
The awareness and acceptability of Natural / Organic products have increased manifold in the recent past and still growing tremendously especially in the developed countries. This kind of consumer products not only have great acknowledgement but also command premium price. For that matter we have got a very positive feedback from countries like U.S.A., GERMANY & JAPAN. There are so many chain stores, which deal only in these kinds of products.
