What is Dabu?
Dabu is an eco-friendly printing technique where wooden blocks are carved, dipped in natural dyes, and pressed onto fabric. The process creates intricate, textured patterns, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
Origin & History:
Originating in Rajasthan, India, Dabu hand block printing has been practiced for centuries. The technique uses a mud resist method to create rustic patterns, traditionally used for both royal and everyday fabrics.
How it’s done:
Wooden blocks are dipped in natural dye and pressed onto fabric. A mud resist paste is applied to create patterns, and after washing and drying, the final design emerges. Each piece is unique, with no two patterns exactly alike.
How to identify Dabu Hand Block Print?
Dabu hand block printing features rich, earthy tones and distinct, slightly uneven patterns created by hand-carved wooden blocks. Unlike machine prints, each design has its own unique character due to the handcrafted process.
