Master block carvers, who have been doing this for many years, carve these blocks. These blocks are carved by a chisel and wooden hammer to form a beautiful design pattern.

There are a couple of block printing techniques but the one that we work with is called Dabu.the fabric is printed with a block using that resist. - Sun is crucial to this process. At every step the fabrics have to dry in the open fields under the sun.

After the fabric has been printed, it gets dyed. We work with dyes that are made with natural materials found in our surroundings, such as flowers, leaves, spices and various other natural metals! Below is an indigo vat that has been going on for several years!

After dyeing, the fabrics get washed by hand. 

More so than not, block printing is a multiple step process where the fabric gets re-printed, re-dyed to bring out the designs we want.
