Hand Printed Block prints
"Our block printed fabrics are sourced from artisans in Rajasthan and Gujarat who still pass down from generation to generation, the age-old technique of printing with intricately carved wooden blocks. Block printing is a family affair, often involving large extended family groups and sometimes, entire villages, each with their own distinctive style.
There are several different techniques associated with block printing. Colour can be directly applied as a pattern to the fabric, often as different coloured overlays to achieve the final design. It can also be printed with a mud resist paste, known as dabu, to block the dye from the fabric, resulting in a reverse design.
Though the end product may look quite simple, there is an enormous amount of work required to produce block printed fabric, particularly if they are dyed with natural dyes. Some fabrics undergo up to 14 processes before they are finally ready for sale. Because these fabrics often require repeated washing, boiling and drying they usually only produced in 5 - 10m lengths."
