The paisley print is believed to have gotten its start in ancient Persia and was called boteh, meaning shrub or bush. The shape was found in fabrics, mosaics, and pottery, although it was predominately used in textiles. The design found its way into Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries when lavish Kashmir shawls were purchased by the affluent. They were very expensive and only the rich could afford the shawls. Around the same time, weavers in Europe began it imitate the design and make the shawls available to commoners. A textile mill in the town of Paisley, Scotland, is credited with the name now known throughout the western world.<\/em> Our Paisley Print Fabric Project introduces children to the paisley motif along with stamping fabric.<\/p>\n
