Block Printing

• Block Printing is a method of hand printing on textiles with inks.
• Printing designs onto fabric originated in China about 4,500 years ago.
• However, hand-blocked fabric reached its highest visual expression in the Indian subcontinent. Indians possessed unparalleled expertise in the secrets of natural plant dyes, particularly with mordants (metallic salts that both create color and allow it to adhere to fabric).
• In addition, a kind of mud resist-printing, called dabu, which allows areas of a design to be reserved from dye, flourished here.
• Thus, a series of combinations of mordant and resist stamping and dyeing enabled Indian printers to create uniquely complex designs, coveted from Southeast Asia and palaces of Mughal emperors to the far-flung capitals of Western Europe.
• This product is Hand Block Printed.
• Being hand printed, the fabric may have slight irregularities in colors and prints.
• These irregularities are the hallmark of all block-printed products and make each unique piece one-of-its-kind.
