Block printing on textiles is the process of printing patterns on textiles, usually of linen, cotton or silk, by means of incised wooden blocks.
It is the earliest, simplest and slowest of all methods of textile printing. Block printing by hand is a slow process.
It is, however, capable of yielding highly artistic results, some of which are unobtainable by any other method.
Woodblocks for textile printing may be made of box, lime, holly, sycamore, plane or pear wood, the latter three being most generally employed.
