Trained as a printmaker, first she prepares large woodblock and prints the composition on old saris which she has collected from the women who she represents in her work. She uses the traditional quilting technique called Nakshi Kantha to show the socio-economic landscape and geographical differences in Bengali culture. Chatterjee also practices Pochampally, a weaving technique from Hyderabad, and Kantha stitch – a traditional embroidery technique of Bengal, practiced mainly by the Muslim communities in rural villages of Mahidapur, Lohagar, Mangaldihi, Sattor, Moldanga of district Birbhum of West Bengal.
