Brown and beige handblock printed checks tussar saree with kalamkari on pallu

Woodblock printing on textiles is the process of printing patterns  on textiles, usually of linen, cotton or silk by means of incised wooden blocks. It is the earliest and slowest of all methods of textile printing. Block printing by hand is a slow process. It is however, capable of yielding highly artistic results, some of which are unobtainable by any other method.

Kalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block printed which uses only natural dyes and involves twenty three steps.
