Fair and Ethical Methodology

—
Hand-pulled printing is a labour-intensive process requiring the skill of two to three artisans, while using significantly less water than automated machines. Heat curing and manual pressure can cause shrinkage or image variation, meaning each impression is unique—shaped by the reactions of humidity and pigment. At Tulisan, we embrace these natural imperfections as markers of authenticity, shifting perceptions of craftsmanship from uniformity to individuality. We strictly avoid materials and methods linked to animal cruelty, toxic chemicals, or environmental harm, ensuring that every design decision aligns with fair and ecological values. Our use of eco-friendly pigments yields organic impressions that convey emotional depth and authenticity. This approach sustains artisanal traditions, creates meaningful job opportunities, and empowers makers whose skills infuse each piece with character and cultural resonance.
