Image for Block printing

Block printing

Block printing is a traditional printing technique where images or patterns are carved into wooden or metal blocks. The raised areas of the block are inked, and then pressed onto paper or fabric to create a print. This method allows for the reproduction of designs multiple times. It has been used for centuries in various cultures, particularly in textiles and bookmaking. Block printing is celebrated for its craftsmanship and unique texture, often resulting in subtle variations, making each print distinct.
