HAND BLOCK PRINTING TECHNIQUE
ANCIENT TECHNIQUE OF PRINTING
Hand
Block Printing (or printing with wooden blocks) is an old technique used to
print patterns on cotton fabric. In this technique firstly design is carved into
the wooden blocks with the help of hand tools like chisels and hammers and the
seemingly simple act of stamping onto cotton fabric. This ancient technique
actually requires a lot of skill, time, and patience. Due to print by hand on
soft hand-loomed cotton fabric, there are some imperfections and irregularities
that come in character and depth to the prints.
The hand block printing process involves many stages like designing and carving the
blocks and preparing the fabric for dye. But once the block has been carved
out, and the fabric has been stretched onto the printing table, the pattern is
carefully stamped upon the fabric with natural dyes. This is repeated along the
fabric; the same process is repeated with each color layer within the pattern.
