In Uzbekistan, the art of making ikat is truly one-of-a-kind with a process that requires 37 thorough steps and many artisan hands – each an essential piece of the intricate, beautiful fabric. It can sometimes take up to 2 months to produce this distinctive work. The word ‘ikat’ of Malaysian-Indonesian roots means “to bind”. For Uzbeks, ikat-making is an ethereal activity they honour by calling it “tying a cloud”.
Each one of the 37 steps of production takes place in a different house alongside its own skilled master. It’s because of this delicate teamwork and skillset that the ikat production process is very meticulous and time-consuming.
Marikats natural dyes are sourced from ingredients such as pomegranate skins, onion skins, walnut shells, madder root, oak galls, turmeric, and safflower from local markets. Some dyes are sourced from abroad, such as indigo and lac from India and cochineal from Peru. These dyes have had a long history of travelling along the great Silk Road by merchants selling colors unavailable in the local market.
