### My story

Hey, we’re Tharangini Studio. Our story started in 1977 with Lakshmi aunty, my mom, who built this place by the lake in Bangalore. It’s home, really. Our artisans, some here since day one, now work with their kids. It’s all about passing down skills, keeping it real. We’re woman-owned, everyone’s welcome, and nature’s our neighbor—turtles, flowers, the lot. That vibe runs through everything we do.

### My work

- **Handblock Printing & Wearable Art**: We create bespoke handblock sarees, scarves, and fabrics. Each piece is made slow and with heart.
- **Eco-Friendly Dyes & Methods**: We use organic natural dye textiles, grinding pigments by hand and working with plant resins—no shortcuts.
- **Heritage Wood Block Motifs**: We have a huge archive of vintage wood blocks. Love mixing old motifs with new ideas.
- **Workshops & Collaboration**: We run collaborative textile workshops and enjoy co-creating with designers and artists. Your vision, our craft.
- **Intentional Craftsmanship**: From carving blocks to our multi-layered printing technique, every step is done with care. You get a keepsake, not just a product.
