Reliving the art of Handblock printing with Jaipur saga

The Beginning of Hand Block printing
Hand block printing or woodblock printing traces its root back to China where the beautifully carved teak woodblocks were used to print textiles and religious texts. Though originated in China this technique reached its highest visual expression in India especially Rajasthan. This age-old craft of dying and coloring a fabric using meticulously carved wooden blocks has been passed over generations in Rajasthan. After receiving the royal patronage of Jaipur maharajas several craft centers were established each unique and symbolic of the culture and heritage of Rajasthan. Bagru block print famous for its black and red thappa prints, or Sanganer block print well known for use of natural colors and chippa technique, or Jajam or dabu block print where thoroughly sculpted clay motifs are used or the detailed geometric prints of Ajarak/ Maleer print is a manifestation of the diversity of block print. But as the roots of industrialization began to spread in the Indian economy, the originality of hand block printing lost its importance.
