ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ART OF HAND BLOCK PRINTING
It is one of the oldest
methods of textile printing. Although it is a slow process, when the process is
completed by a skilled artist then the results are just simply marvellous, such
kind of artistic work can’t be created by any other method.
The process of Hand block
printing is very much complicated and difficult. It takes very much time,
patience and skill to develop a single outfit from this method. To simply
explain the process to you I have divided it in two basic steps but its way
more complicated than these two basic steps, still let’s give it a try and see what we can understand about
this mind blowing art-
- Process
of preparing the block – This is quite a complicated process and it
requires a lot of skill and hard work to produce even one single block and
you would be shocked to know that from one block only one particular kind
of print can be done.
●
The first step in preparing a block is to find the right
material for carving the design, usually its plane or pine wood.
●
After finding the right material a wooden block is prepared
by sticking different pieces of that material together to give it a thick size.
●
After which it’s smoothening is done.
●
Then finally the design is hand made on this block which is a
very delicate and difficult task.
- Printing process -- Then by the help of various different kinds of such blocks a single
beautiful outfit is made which again is a very difficult task and requires
a lot of skill and time.
Now that was just a sneak
peak at the exhausting process of Hand block printing. Let’s now have a look at
the material on which these beautiful prints are printed, the materials used
are very comfortable, usually Cotton, Linen and silk are used.
