Hand Block Printing

Pressed by hand using intricately carved wooden blocks, the prints rendered on the pieces are made with care and dedication. Each motif is carved carefully on teak wooden blocks, dipped into dyes before being pressed onto the fabric. This step is repeated slowly — motif by motif, colour by colour until the pattern is completed. The pigment saturates the cloth to give a unique depth of colour which is controlled by the block printer’s hands. We also rely on natural dyeing and drying methods when producing our fabrics.

Subtle variances in depth and irregularities in print and colour are natural characteristics of hand block printing and the nature of a handmade process.
