The Origin of Block Printing 

Excavations of dyed and printed fabric, have traced the origin of block Printing to seventeenth century Gujarat. Today, block Printing is practiced in numerous centers all around India. Techniques of Block Printing 

There are a number of processes of block Printing: 



Direct Block Printing 

In this technique, the cotton or silk cloth is first bleached. Then the fabric is dyed, unless a light background is desired. Thereafter, the fabric is printed using carved blocks, first the outline blocks, then the ones to fill color. 

In the resist technique, areas that are to be protected from the dye are covered with a mixture of clay and resin. The dyed fabric is then washed. The dye spreads into the protected areas through cracks, producing a rippled effect. Block prints are then used to create further designs. 

Discharge Printing 

In this technique, the fabric is dyed. Then, a chemical is used to remove the dye from the portions that are to have designs in a different color. These portions are then treated, so they may be re-colored. 
Block Printing in Rajasthan 

From Gujarat, the art of block Printing spread to Rajasthan. Here colorful prints of birds, animals, human figures, gods and goddesses are popular. The important centers for this form of hand Printing are Jaipur, Bangru, Sanganer, Pali and Barmer. 

Sanganer is famous for its Calico printed bed covers, quilts and saris. In Calico Printing, the outlines are first printed, and then the color is filled in. Bold patterns and colors are popular. They are printed repeatedly in diagonal rows.Doo Rookhi Printing is also famous here. In this technique, artists print on both sides of the cloth. 

Bagru is famous for its Syahi-Begar prints and Dabu prints. The former are designs in a combination of black and yellow ochre or cream. The latter are prints in which portions are hidden from the dye by applying a resist paste. 

Barmer is known for its prints of red chilies with blue-black outlines, surrounded by flower-laden trees. The other famous prints are of horses, camels, peacocks and lions, called Sikar and Shekahawat prints.

This fabric is new.  As it is hand block printed the pattern is not perfectly uniform and there may be some errant spots of dye.  If you are looking for perfection, then we should say that this is not for you. You'll be better off with machine printed textiles.

Indigo creations exists in a well know city of India, Jaipur.

Jaipur has art in it's heritage.

In this city people from different parts of the country came and practice their art. Whatever they make they sell it to the shops or wholesalers or exporters of Jaipur, Delhi and other main big cities of India.
