Block Print – Jaipur

Made by hand, guided by the artisan.

In workshops across Rajasthan and Gujarat, block printing is carried out the way it always has been—each wooden block carved, dipped, and pressed with care. The process depends as much on the hand as it does on the eye.

Artisans work with organic cotton and silk, using natural dyes like indigo and turmeric. In Bagru, mud-resist methods are used to build deeper tones, while in Sanganer, finer motifs are created with a lighter touch.

You can see the hand in every piece—slight shifts in colour, small variations in the print. Nothing feels mechanical, and that’s what makes it special.

Shaped by skill, made to be part of everyday life.
