Fabric painting, the art of applying colour to textiles, dates back to ancient Egypt, India, China, and tribal cultures. It’s now a global art form practiced by artists, designers, and hobbyists.

Historically used for religious, cultural, and decorative purposes, fabric painting featured in traditions like India’s Kalamkari and Chinese silk painting. Modern paints have made it popular for DIY, fashion, and home décor.

Designs range from traditional (florals, animals, deities) to modern (abstract, pop art).
