How to Block Print using Block Printing Blocks

Like any other art, the art of block printing with ‘block printing blocks’ is time consuming and typical process. The process of block printing begins with block printing blocks and printers use several such blocks to complete a design. The back of these blocks also have handles for the printers to hold it.

The next step in the process is developing a base/table to put/spread fabric on, for printing. Usually several layers of jute fabric is spread on a long table to provide a soft base for printing. Jute is used to serve as pad with cushioning. Printing always starts from left and completes to right. After the fabric is spread on the table for printing, the printer dips the block printing block in the color tray and then presses on the fabric, he also slams the back of the block hard with his fist to get an even print on the fabric. Then the printer moves to the next portion of fabric to print.

As the printing starts, the printer pulls a cart carrying their block printing blocks along with them. Printers use several such blocks and interchange at desired intervals to create different patterns. Similarly he make use of custom designs and different colors to create new patterns.

Block Printing requires teamwork, each color in a whole pattern or design is printed by a separate printer and need to place the block accurately to create a beautiful art. They move in a row one after another to complete the design. The piece is treated to fix the dyes, once the printing is finished. This process of printing fabric has been used for ages and is still in practice.

In ancients times, there was no source for vivid colors, designs, and patterns and so our printers used mineral and vegetable dyes and created wonderful patterns in form of block printing blocks.
