What is Blockprint?

Blockprint is a traditional hand stamping technique that has been practiced in India for centuries.

This artisanal process involves using hand-carved wooden blocks to apply intricate patterns and colorful designs onto fabrics.

Carve Blocks

Skilled craftsmen hand carve wooden blocks into desired designs. These blocks can be very detailed, with geometric, floral or figurative patterns.

Prepare the Fabric

The fabric, usually cotton, is washed and bleached to ensure it is clean and ready for printing.

Apply the Ink

The carved blocks are dipped in natural dyes or pigments and then pressed firmly onto the fabric in a repeating pattern. Each color in the design requires a different block and separate application.

Drying and Fixation

Once printed, the fabric is dried in the sun and the colors are set through various processes that may include steaming or washing.
