View Our Process
Block printing is a traditional technique where artisans use hand-carved wooden blocks to create beautiful patterns on fabric. The process starts with carving the design into the block. The block is then dipped into dye and pressed onto the fabric, creating a repeating pattern. Each color in the design requires a separate block, and the artisan carefully lines up the blocks to create the final look. The slight variations you see in the prints are a natural part of the handmade process, making each piece unique and special!
