Neel

A block, a table, a length of cotton. A dev page for the scene: registers, progress as a share of the printing, and words over the cloth.

Printed to order

Each length is pressed by hand, one block at a time.

Register

Hand block printing with carved wooden blocks and natural dyes is a living craft across India. With progress set, exactly that share of the impressions is printed: outlines first, then the fill.
