HandCrafting
Techniques
HandBlock Printing The Handblock is carved by first tracing the design on a block of wood which is then handcarved and chiseled to perfection by a master carftsman. This creates the stamp of the design for print. The carvers have no professional training or education in sculpture , but have learnt the art down the generation from their fore fathers. The Block of wood is then dipped in oil and processed for 3-4 days.
HandBlock printing is the most fascinating and old form of printing. To print the fabric , the block is dipped in dye and stamped hard onto the fabric by hand. It is done with utmost precision. We use vegetable colors or printing mostly as they are natural and do not harm the environment and is totally safe for the skin.

After the printing is done, the fabric is washed, conditioned to ensure color fastening and softening of the fabric. The fabric is then hung to dry in natural sun.
