Opis

An immersive guide to the mindful craft of Indian block printing.

Block printing, where carved wooden blocks are used to hand print patterns onto fabric and paper, has been a thriving craft in India since at least the twelfth century.

Today, the industry is dominated by the workshops around Jaipur and the projects in this book are filled with tried-and-tested tips to help you produce vibrant contemporary designs inspired by the city. From simple motifs to intricate designs – and from tablecloths and tote bags to air-dry clay and gift wrapping – this is a comprehensive guide both for beginners and experienced crafters looking to refine their work.

Colourful photographic sections are woven into the text, providing details of the authors’ visits to block carvers, printers and dyers in the Jaipuri villages of Sanganer and Bagru, and how these influences are applied back in their own UK studio. They share with you how Indian block printing is more than just an art form – it’s a conscious and creative way of living.
