Rgan Art is centuries old Art

Rogan Art is centuries old art. Castor oil is the base of the paint and its what gives the art its name. Rogan means oil in Farsi . The oil is heated for two days till it turns into honey like texture . Oil can catch fire anytime therefore this process requires great expertise gained through practise and information of the process . The Rogan thus formed is then combined with pigment to make paint . The use of hand gives it a unique quality to make a thread by swirling it and making it into thin wires . The thread of Rang-and-rogan is spread along the cloth in a pre conceived design pattern to the extend to which the thread can stretch. The artisan runs the other hand underneath the cloth to guide the paint . Before it dries the cloth is folded to produce the design’s mirror image and is a very time taking process . The form of art is almost extinct only one family is keeping the tradition and 400 years old art alive .
