Hand Block
Printing
Hand block printing is a traditional textile art that stamps designs onto fabric using intricately carved wooden blocks. Practiced for centuries across South Asia, it has evolved into a rich tapestry of regional styles and techniques.
From early block-printed textiles in Asia to refined floral and geometric patterns under later courts and ateliers, the craft blends precise carving, dye chemistry, and careful printing to create distinctive surfaces that remain popular today.
