Weave Dabu Handblock

Dabu" a mud resist process by using woodblock.The Process of Dabu Printing starts with the preparation of mud resist, clay is made ready by finely sieving it. Calcium hydroxide (Chuna in Hindi), naturally pounded wheat chaff (Beedan in hindi), and gum (gound in hindi) are the main ingredients to make the mud resist.

It involves a  100-year-old technique, 15-22 processes,25-40 pairs of hands, and at least,65 hours spread, over 6 days along with a lot of sand and sand. This was efficiently and effectively created by the artisans of Chaubundi of Kaldera, Rajasthan.

Once this long-drawn process was understood, it was in sheer awe of the craftsmanship that Prathaa committed to the Dabu form of hand block printing for their emotionally precious signature Bindi collection, the most awaited collection of the year. This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that started with the block creation in the Bindi motif, deciding on the size, proportion, and many other minor detailing. After the formation of the block, they are dipped in oil to prevent them from cracking in the process.

The handloom cotton fabrics are cut into 6 mtrs each and soaked for 2-4 days to ensure better absorption of colour . The fabric is scoured and dried in the sandy soil. printing begins with alum followed by a few days of drying in the sun. This printed fabric is then washed in running water and then simmered in large copper vessels so that it holds the colour . 

The fabric is again dried in the sun on dried sandy soil. Fabric is now sorted for mud resist , and applied to parts of the fabric. Dried in the sun, followed by the dyeing process and drying in the sun. The final product after printing, mud resist and dyeing is ready .

We have created a variety of designs in this Dabu hand block printed fabric
