Product Description

Add a colorful pop of pattern in a woven cotton dhurrie placemat. A table setting can be elevated by the little things. Table runners and placemats change the look of your setting without a ton of money or effort.

Wood blocks are hand carved by artisans out of shesham wood. For each motif, a different block must be carved for every color. Once the blocks are carved, the process of block printing begins. A high degree of skill is required for both the placement of motifs and the application of pressure. All together, there can be as many as 16 blocks to create a 5 color design. A set of blocks can be used to print on average 1500-2000 meters of fabric, after which some have to be replaced. All block printed cloth reflects the touch of the human hand, the sensibility and skill of the craftsman, making every piece unique.
