🎨 Hand Block Printing Process
🪵 Carving the Wood
A pattern is first drawn on transfer paper, then painted on wood with white chalk. Carved by a machine for the large pieces, by hand with small chisels for the smaller or more intricate parts.
☁️ Preparing the Table
The plain fabric is laid out on the 6m (for Sarees) or 10m long (for material) table. Natural colours are applied to the carved wood to be transferred onto the fabric — in a rhythm passed through generations.
🌬 Drying & Washing Process
Waiting for the fabric to completely dry, then sent to washers exclusively engaged in post-processing of printed fabrics. The washing is a multi-stage process during which the fabric loses the extra colour. Washing makes them softer and ready to use.
🌳 From Earth, With Care
This process, shared across time, involves natural dyes and sustains livelihoods. From wood to earth's elements, from tool makers to cotton fields, to those who wear this living fabric... back to Mother Earth.
🌹 We are all a thread of life. Let's serve this fabric of life, making it strength & beauty, working in unison
Care Instructions
- Cold water only
- Wash inside out
- Gentle detergent — 1 spoon of baking soda is effective, economical, and kind to the planet
- Line dry in the shade — direct sunlight can fade the natural colours
