Traditional Felting Process of Shu Cloth by KRM in Garam Chashma
Abstract
KRM is captured felting Shu cloth in the traditional hot spring water felting facility in Garam Chashma. Standing barefoot in the felting tank, he uses a wooden stick for balance and pressure while the natural hot spring water aids the process. The surrounding stone wall and lush green mountains in the background highlight the rural and serene setting of this age-old craft. This scene illustrates the interconnection between cultural heritage, natural resources, and artisanal expertise in the region.
