Block Printing

The traditional process of block making begins with a block of seasoned wood, upon which the artisans carefully sketch their design and with the help of chisels carve out the areas that are not to be imprinted on the fabric. Once the blocks are ready, the carved surfaces are covered in dyes, which are to be applied on the fabric. Number of colors in a design decides the number of blocks to be used. Each block is made by hand, thus making it one of a kind.
