Descriptions

Bagru is a hand block print tradition of the Chhipas community; a fifth generation of a family of dyers and printers settled primarily in Bagru, Rajasthan, India. It requires perfect hand -eye coordination and precision. The master printer decides the number of blocks and sequence of printed layers. The block is then cut to size and the carver uses tools to recreate the pattern on the block. Every print is made by hand and visually aligned by the printer. It often requires at least 4 to 5 blocks to print different parts of a pattern. Traditional Bagru prints use dark color on a cream or dyed background. 

Dabu is a mud resist-technique. Dabu resist paste is used to print the design, then it is dyed, often in blue indigo and once again dried. The motifs made with the mud resist remain uncolored while the rest of the fabric is dyed. The resulting cloth’s color is the other way around – White/bright prints on a dark-dyed background.
