Скачать или смотреть Stitched Stories: A Journey into Fabric Block Printing

Block printing on fabric is a captivating artistic process that allows individuals to imprint custom designs onto textiles. Begin by carving a desired pattern onto a wooden or linoleum block using carving tools. Once carved, prepare fabric by washing and ironing for a smooth canvas. Apply fabric ink or paint onto the block using a brayer, ensuring even coverage. Before imprinting on fabric, conduct a test print on paper to refine the design and verify proper ink application. Position the inked block onto the fabric, exert even pressure, and carefully lift to reveal the printed design. Re-ink the block for each print, experimenting with patterns and colors for varied results. After printing, allow the fabric to air dry thoroughly, following any recommended curing instructions. Clean the block promptly to maintain its longevity. Block printing on fabric provides a delightful outlet for creativity, yielding personalized textiles for clothing, home décor, or artistic endeavors.
