What is on display?

The Kota handloom cotton weave has been a good choice as a fabric for the special block printing.

The popularity of block prints

Block prints when they initially came to be known revolutionized the concept of printing. Easily manoeuvrable, wieldy, precise and a task that did not require too much skill and completed quickly, the process appealed that much more could be achieved by way of this simple technique than by the use of automated processes within the limitations.

Very small detailing can be etched and preserved in the block by special provisions. So small stars and very minute designs otherwise not possible, are available for the beautification of the fabric. Flowers, fruits, trees, birds, geometrical designs and figurative patterns are some of the popular motifs in block printed sarees.

The heart of hand block prints lies in the wooden / steel blocks created for the purpose.

When large masses of colour occur in a pattern, the corresponding parts on the block are usually cut in outline, the object being filled in between the outlines with felt, which not only absorbs the colour better, but gives a much more even impression than it is possible to obtain with a large surface of wood. When finished, the block presents the appearance of flat relief carving, the design standing out like letterpress type.

The Kota Handloom has always been a fabric with tremendous scope for experimentation and over time it has displayed some very amazing results. Do explore this lot and check out for yourself.
