Description

Block printing is a traditional relief printing technique where designs are carved into a wooden block, inked, and pressed onto paper or fabric to create repeated patterns or artworks. It’s one of the oldest printmaking methods, dating back thousands of years, and is still widely practiced today for both art and craft projects.

Kantha embroidery is a centuries-old textile tradition from Bengal and Bangladesh, known for its simple running stitches, recycled fabrics, and storytelling motifs. It began as a way to repurpose old saris into quilts and evolved into a celebrated art form.
