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 colours and prints.
• These irregularities are the hallmark of all block-printed products and make each unique piece one-of-its-kind.
