Hand block printing is one such technique, which involves carving a desired pattern or design on a wooden block, covering this block with ink or dye and then stamping it on the fabric. While blocks can be made up of stone; but for better results they are more commonly made from wood.
If you’re a fabric lover, you may already know that most fabric projects require a certain degree of preparation. Block printing onto fabric does, too, but the process is highly involved. Prior to printing, the cotton takes an immersive bath in a gentle bleaching solution. Next, it passes through a dye vat and between two rollers that squeeze out excess dye.
Placement plays an important role when it comes to block printing techniques on fabric Printing follows an outside-in orientation: the border is printed before the main design. Before using any of the color blocks, artisans print the outline of the design. The block printer dips the outline block into the dye pad and moves down the length of the table.
