Description
|
The mats made with kora
grass are true collector items. Kora grass grows
abundantly along the banks of the rivers in Tamil Nadu
in South India. The process of creating a mat is quite
complex. The green grass normally grows to a height of
3-4 feet and cut finely while it is still green. The
inside white pith of the stem is removed with a sharp
edged knife while the outer part is used for weaving.
The count of the mat depend on how many strips the grass
is cut into; the greater the number of strips, the
higher the count. The strips are then dried in the sun.
When the dried strips turn a yellowish green color, they
are boiled in water and dried again. The dried grass is
made up into bundles and then soaked in running water.
These bundles are weighed down with stones at both ends
they are then made to float in running streams of clean
water. It is normally kept under water for three days,
ensuring a very fine count. This wetting causes the
grass to swell up to three times its original size. It
is then dried in the sun again. The weaving is done on a
floor loom. The process is slow and follows a basket
weave pattern. The weft (or the grass) covers the warp
entirely and the pattern formed has an interesting
striped effect of its own. Once the weavings is
complete, the mat is dried in the sun for a short while.
It is then finished with a polishing stone.
