about craft
Ajrakh printing is a traditional block-printing technique from the Kutch region of Gujarat, India. Known for its intricate geometric and floral patterns, Ajrakh printing uses natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and mud. The process involves multiple stages of washing, dyeing, and printing, often requiring up to 16 steps to achieve the final design. Artisans use wooden blocks carved with detailed motifs to hand-print the fabric, typically cotton or silk. The colors, predominantly indigo and madder red, are applied with precision, resulting in richly patterned textiles.
