Hand Block Printing Stores

India has been famous for its printed and dyed cotton since 12th century. The creative process flourished as the creative process received royal patronage. Surat in Gujarat became a prominent center for trade of painted and printed textiles. The art of hand block printing was passed from generation to generation and it employed the use of natural colors. Today, the art has again revived and has spread in cities like: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore. New Hand Block Printing Stores are also coming up in these cities. Block printing is popular because of its rich and vibrant colors. Originally natural dyes were used, but today that are replaced by chemicals and arificial colors.

The main color used are red, yellow, blue and saffron. The main tools of the printer are wooden blocks in different shapes and sizes called bunta. The underside of the block has the design etched on it. Hand Block Printing Stores were in Ahmedabad, Sanganer, Bagru, Farukhabad and in other cities. But with the revival of this art in the 21 st century, these stores have seen a sporadic growth all across the country.

If the natural grey of the fabric is not desired, soft bleach is used to re-color it. The fabric is stretched over the printing table and fastened with small pins before the actual printing starts.
