Block Printing
Block printing is popular in India. Bleached
cotton and silk fabric is printed with the help of wooden blocks. These
wooden blocks have beautiful carved designs on them. Firstly the outline
block is prepared, which is followed by blocks for filling in different
colours. Only three or four colours are used. Traditional motifs and designs
are used in this technique. Generally floral patterns, human and animal
figures are represented. Usually natural dyes are used to colour the fabric.
The important centers of block printing in
Rajasthan are Jaipur, Sanganer, Bagroo, Pali and Barmer. Sanganer is famous
for the finest block printed cottons. The Bagru prints are popular for
their floral designs, while prints from Barmer are known for their bold
geometric patterns, called 'Ajrakh'. The printers of Barmer use darker
shades of blues and reds.
