Craft : Hand Block Printing

One of the earliest and simplest methods of textile printing, Block printing is, very simply put, the printing of patterns on textile using incised wooden blocks. Block printing involves myriad steps, but the most important step is the preparation of the block which determines the quality and clarity of impressions. The block is then dipped in the desired dye and carefully placed adjacent to the preceding impression of the block as per the design. Sakhi gives a contemporary twist to block print in that the saree features a rising concept wherein the floral printing steadily increases from one end to another, the specialty of the hand block printing is the multi hue set against the black base colour. The designs are inspired by flora.
