Bagru printing is a type of hand block printing. One of the oldest printing techniques, it originated from the tiny hamlet of Bagru near Jaipur. Unlike regular hand blocks, Bagru is a special style of resist dyeing that uses less water and primarily relies on mud to produce whimsical designs. How is Bagru Printing Done? Bagru print is a hallmark of the Chippa community. It is done by using uniquely carved wooden blocks with natural dyes and colors. • In the Bagru printing process, preparing the cloth is a crucial step. The to-be- printed fabric is first thoroughly washed and dried in sunlight. • Harda or a thick yellow paste made from natural ingredients is then applied to the cloth to ensure better permeation of the dyes. Depending on the desired color, the fabric is also soaked in this mix for up to 48 hours and then sun- dried. • Once dried, the chippa kaarigar artfully press wooden blocks in myriad shapes and patterns onto our fabric to give birth to a visual masterpiece. A similar process is followed in creating hand block printed kurta. However, for bagru print apparels, dyeing-washing-drying is on loop.
