Indian Block Printing


I just came across this video of the art of Indian block printing via Wren Homemade. Beautifully photographed, it gives a real understanding of the intricacies of this ancient art form. It was created by the talented photographers Gentl &Hyers for West Elm.

  3. Yes, I think that it is indeed a lot of work. They are so amazingly intricate. But I would hope, that although the work must be hard, that it is also personally gratifying, to make something so beautiful.

    Thank you both for your comments... I love hearing from you.
