Block Prints

Block printing is the process of printing patterns by means of engraved wooden blocks. It is the earliest, simplest and slowest of all methods of textile printing; and highly sustainable with no use of electricity and fully degradable blocks. Block printing by hand is a slow process, but it is capable of yielding highly artistic and unique results, some of which are unobtainable by any other production method. Block prints are done by eye, and telltale signs of the human hand, even imperfections, are part of the ineffable humanity and beauty of the craft.
