Product Description
Printed to Perfection
Hand Block printing is one of the primitive art form, which due to its artistic beauty is admired by modern men and women not just in India but across the globe. Known for their amazing dexterity and craftsmanship, skilled artisans use wooden blocks to create intricate and colorful design patterns on fabrics using traditional techniques passed on to them through generations. While the technique and type of block printing vary in different parts of the country, the beauty, essence, and popularity of the craft remain intact, as statistically, India is now one of the leading exporters of block printed fabrics in the world.
The Making Process
Block making – Rekh and Datta
Thick woodblocks, usually made from Teak wood, are used to make the designs for block printing. Intricate patterns, designs, and motifs are hand-carved neatly on to these blocks using chisels or knives. Rekh or the outline block is usually stamped first, followed by filler block – datta. There is a separate block for every colour in the design.
Printing with the Blocks
After the hand-carved woodblocks are dipped in colour, they are pressed hard against the fabric to get a proper impression. The fabric is prepared beforehand by thoroughly washing it to remove the starchiness and increase absorption. To create intricate designs, the artisan uses multiple blocks of different patterns and applies them on an existing pattern after it has dried.
Finishing the Printed Fabric
Once the printing process is completed, the fabric is given the requisite amount of time for the colours to set properly. Thereafter, it is washed in water and dried in the sun. The beautifully designed block printed fabric is now ready to be used to make fashion apparels, home furnishings, accessories and more products.

Good print and fabric quality!
I’ve been using this table cover for the past few months. First and foremost, the block print is impressive and it hasn’t faded even after multiple wash. Secondly, the quality of fabric is pretty good. I recommend this to anyone who wants to add some pop of colour to their dining area.It’s an easy to clean product and surprisingly the stains come off pretty easily, too. Also, unlike other table covers it didn’t smell of chemicals.

Purchasing another! Durable even with kids!
Waited till I washed this cloth more than once to post. This is a gorgeous tablecloth, number one. Arrived just as pictured and colors were bright. Had a very very slight paint smell which quickly faded. Really helped at dinner time, better than placemats. Washed and it did not shrink and retained all the colors brightly! Adds class to my dining room. Going to purchase another as soon as I decide on a color. Go for it!

Beautiful and aesthetic
Very beautiful 6 seater table cloth. The material is thick and great quality. No colour fading after washing and the table cloth looks as good as new. The colour is not bright but subtle and elegant. There are some irregular colour prints not noticeable unless closely observed but that is understandable since it is supposed to be block print irregularity. Other than that totally worth the price. Absolutely loved the table cloth & its Perfect for festivities.
