Block
Printing on fabrics is famous due to the detailed work on fabrics done at
Sanganer and Bagru in Rajasthan.

Nowadays it is also found in other parts of
Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
Wood
Blocks are made commonly from wood like sycamore, plane or pear wood, though
wood of other varieties also could be used.
The
thickness is expected to be at least two or three inches to guard against
warping. Additional precaution is also taken by backing it with deal or pine
strips.
The
block is made by creating tongues and grooves to fit in each other snugly and
gluing under pressure to make it seem like a homogeneous block.
This
block is smooth planed and the printing surface is smooth and flat. The design
to be incorporated is etched out after applying lamp black and oil on the
design and transferring it to the block surface.
To
achieve fine clear edges of the design the outline of the design on the block
is coloured and then the etching is done.
Metal copper pieces are wedged into the
hollowed out design on the block to prevent caving in of pieces or edges
becoming blunt due to the block used continuously with reasonably applied
pressure over the laid out fabric.
Sometimes coppering is also done by heating
the block with the copper strips inside and then removed when the block gets
cold.
The resulting block would have
extremely fine edges and detailing as a single piece of wood. This is the only
method by which extremely fine detailed designs are transferred to the fabric.
Since block prints require prints to be made
in varied colours there are several blocks of different designs kept in
readiness.

Blocks are dipped in finely mixed colour dye baths and pressed upon
the fabric and a slight tap is made before removing it so that the print is
uniform.
Brush
Prints are generally achieved by colouring through dyes filled in blank areas,
doing fine lines on the design, inner filling etc. in designs using different
type brushes based upon the fineness of the design and its application.
You
could have silk brushes for filling in large areas and water colour painting,
fabric brushes which push the dye into the fabric for it to soak in.
You
have brushes with different shapes at the tip like round, tiny round, flat for
fine to coarse detailing work.
