Hand block printing is an old cloth printing technique known for its exotic patterns and vibrant colors. This traditional and incredibly intricate art form has been practiced in India for centuries. This technique employs intricately carved wooden blocks to hand print gorgeous patterns that typically span the entire length of the cloth. The process of hand block printing is labor-intensive, taking many skilled artisans hours to create a single length of fabric. It is interesting to note that a separate block is required for every color used. This means that multiple blocks may be needed for a single design to achieve the desired effect. Despite its long and complex process, the result of hand block printing is beautiful and highly valued, often made with natural dyes that further enhance its vibrancy. These stunning prints are available at Sourceitright in various fabrics, including cotton, modal satin, gaji and more.
