Block Printing is a process by which designs are made on a fabric by printing them on it with the help of a block made for that purpose. Believed to have its origin in China, block printing has been in use around the world for quite some time. Hand block printing is practised in India mainly for Sarees and dress materials. Hand block printing is popular on account of its simplicity and ease of execution since the prints on the Sarees are sharp, accurate and provide finely detailed results. It is still a popular way of printing in Gujarat and Rajasthan on account of the fine and intricate designs in use in those regions.
