Block printing is not a newfound trend, it is an age-old art with deep roots in ancient civilizations ranging from china and egypt to assyria. for centuries, block printing has been used to embellish cloths.
Block printed fabrics showcase the perfect imperfections of the human hand, the sensibilities and skills of real craftsmanship. to put it simply, every bolt of fabric made using this technique is special and distinct.
The process of block printing takes time, teamwork, and a high degree of skill, required for both the placement of motifs and the application of pressure. depending on the amount of pressure that’s applied to the block stamp, each piece of fabric showcases varying levels of color depth and dye absorption, taking on the style of the artisan who created it.
This unique and time-intensive process means no two pieces of fabric are the same.
