Sanganeri Hand Block Printing
Block printing as we know is quite a vast artform and an important tradition in various cultures dating back several centuries. Though every different region has their own speciality and mark in the block printing industry, Sanganer, a small town on the outskirts of Jaipur is one such region whose block prints are even internationally acclaimed. In order to understand this long standing traditional printing method and it’s interpersonal relationship with our heritage, the designers and NGOs are working for the upliftment of the crafts. The international as well as domestic market, the life of the craftsmen, historical impact and eventually the craft to the region itself, are critically analysed. The strengths and weaknesses along with opportunities and hindrances met along the way are compiled in this research document. From understanding the craft and in turn creating awareness, realising the demands and desires of the communities involved. documentation would help to lift up the craft that could be lost in history.
