About the Product

WOODEN BLOCK PRINTING

According to an Indian folklore, bored and tired of their plain white clothes some women began using their bangles dipped in color to print their clothes. Carpenters saw this and invented a printing device by carving designs on wood. Thus began the tradition of making blocks of wood for printing. This started almost 1,000 years ago. Shortly, the kings and queens and the royalty patronized this art and it has flourished in India since then. Originally, natural dyes from herbs and vegetables were used for printing and figures of animals, birds, flowers, trees and some geometrical patterns were used. Wooden blocks are now used to print on fabric, paper, and many more materials and made into fun craft projects that engage and educate young minds and help them develop a new skill.
