Dye dye must keep the tradition in blueprint dyeing, alive.
For Jiri Danzinger, settling on a line of work was a no-brainer: he grew up in a Czech family with a long tradition in blueprint dyeing. The 40-year-old craftsman is the 11th generation of a family living off the Unesco-listed technique in the eastern village of Olesnice.
Artisans like Danzinger then apply the pattern to white cotton fabric before submerging it in a tub of water dyed indigo blue.Clover and oat grass "Wealthier regions use fancier patterns," he added before smoothing wrinkles from a fabric using a rattling rolling press.Marketa Vinglerova, deputy head of the textile collection at Prague's Museum of Decorative Arts, said blueprint came to Europe from Asia, notably the traditional indigo-dyeing countries of India, Indonesia and Japan.
During the coronavirus crisis, it switched to making face masks after the government made face coverings mandatory in public.From one day to the next,"we were churning out face masks at full speed. We agreed it was necessary," said Danzinger.
