The Hyderabadi Block prints - A new avatar in Georgette
Block printing – a traditional art that traditionally evolved from the rural areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan, has reached new levels of fine printing on large canvas fabrics like the saree, thanks to the conventional blocks that take up large areas of the continuous cloth in one go, and the marvellous wonder, the hand-block. No longer is this art restricted to the areas of origin, but spread wide and far across different parts of India. No wonder you get the taste of something new every now and then from the marvelous craft. We give you a taste of what block printing can do given ideas and a latitude to explore new horizons within the prevalent.
The characteristics of the Hyderabadi Hand Block Prints
The main body in the Hyderabadi block prints is in plain but vibrant light colored hues. This range has the golden zari in checks pattern woven all across the field. The border is adorned with hand block prints which have unconventional outlines, i.e. the outlines do not seem to exist as visible in the traditional hand block prints. The Pallu or end piece is also a continuation of the border, but with more width and print area it gives latitude for additional print shapes and additions.
What makes a significant difference is the choice of hues and color combinations of floral spreads and geometrical shapes that gives an overall vision of symmetry.
Additional things to take cognizance are: there are no visible outlines for the printed shapes as in conventional block printing yet the edges are neat. There is vibrancy in the colors used which are additionally bold, fast and durable and have been chosen so that they combine well with the golden zari patterns in the forefront.
The Hyderabadi block prints are a special variation in hand block printing, slightly different from the conventional prints in execution.
While block printing is an art of immense possibilities, its brilliance is showcased in fabrics that provide a suitable canvas to experiment. Cotton has been the most popular so far, but there are others like silk, georgette etc. that have responded well too.
