Haven’t heard about this print but you definitely have landed up wearing this in most of your occasions 😀 well lets know and understand this widespread Print #Gamthi 🙂
Block printing such as Gamthi Print is achieved by engraving delicate patterns on blocks of wood and then filling them with color. These patterns are then pressed onto the fabric to create the desired look.
Craftsmen who work in block printing tend to only use teak wood mainly because this type of wood has the perfect base of carving because it is extremely strong and does not get affected by external elements such as water. As a result, a single block can be reused as many times as a craftsman may desire.
To start the process, the block of wood is first painted white before any patterns are carved on it. This helps the craftsmen grasp a better understanding of the contrasts that will be created once the print is
used. Various tools such as drills, bows and chisels are used to create the pattern.
Gamthi print is available in a variety of attires or accessories. This style of printing is used to make a host of Indian ethnic attire and @ Paisley it’s the Anarkalis, kurtis, chunris and more!
