GLOSSARY

HAND BLOCK PRINTING

Hand block printing is a printing technique where dye or ink is applied to an engraved wooden block that is then pressed onto a piece of fabric or paper to create a patterned print. The traditional Indian block print dates back as far as the 12th century.

However, it was not until the Mughal era (1526-1857) where this technique evolved to the intricate and artistic form that we know today. To this day, block print artisans carefully align each block onto the fabric by relying solely on a trained eye. At Seema Krish, the wood blocks used in our block printing workshop are hand carved out of teak wood, and each block can be used to print 500-800 yards of fabric. All of the dyes used to create our block printed textiles are hand mixed and GOTS-certified.

EMBROIDERY

Embroidery is one of the oldest forms of handcrafting technique relying on solely a needle and thread. India possesses a rich history of embroidery traditions stemming from various regions throughout the country. Our textiles incorporate such embroidery into our block printed patterns as a tactile element, below are a few styles we have used.

Kantha -

Originating in the Eastern Indian subcontinent, kantha – from the Sanskrit word for “rags” – is a form of embroidery that involves a simple running stitch done in parallel lines, swirls, or pictorial motifs along the edges of a cloth or repeated to fill an expanse of fabric. Kantha stitching features prominently in the traditional saris worn by women in the Bengal region, and has traditionally been used to create nakshi kantha – colorful, decorative quilts crafted from discarded fabric which demonstrate the beauty of repair and reuse.

Shisha -

From the Hindi word meaning “little glass,” shisha is an ornamental embroidery technique defined by the use of small pieces of mirror which reflect light for a luminous effect. Shisha mirror-work originated in India in the 17th century when the reflective materials of choice ranged from silver beetles’ wings and chips of mica to tiny mirror discs, depending on one’s social status.

Chikankari -

Chikankari is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow in northern India in which artisans trace temporary block printed designs with stitches to create works of extraordinary detail. After the embroidered design is completed, the finished piece is carefully washed to remove traces of the printed pattern. There are references to embroidery similar to chikankari in India that date back as early as the 3rd century BCE.

WEAVING

Weaving is also known to be one of the oldest surviving crafts in the world. Created by interlacing two sets of yarns or threads at right angles, weaving is an essential process that forms the foundation for each of our textiles.

Our non-performance textiles are woven on dobby and jacquard looms in South India. These are made from natural, biodegradable fibers including cotton, linen and wool.

SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing is the technique that transfers a design by forcing ink or dye through a mesh screen onto paper or fabric. This technique originated in China during the Song Dynasty (960 – 1279 CE). The earliest form of this method used mesh woven from human hair and designs cut out of paper. It was not until the 8th century when Japan adapted the art form that silk became the material of choice for imprinting designs onto various substrates. Our selection of screen printed textiles are printed by hand at a small workshop in Bangalore. Our artisans use the technique to create precise even prints that can be layered and repeated continuously to achieve a desired design.
