The Craft

Bagru Block Print — earth-baked, mud-resisted.

Bagru's block-printers do not paint motifs onto cloth — they paint a mud paste, then dye around it. The places the paste covered stay yellow; the rest turns indigo. The print is born from what is hidden, not what is added.

The technique is at least 400 years old. Bagru is one of only two villages in India still working with the original fermented indigo vat and natural dabu paste — mud, gum and chalk.

Imran's vat has been running, refreshed daily, for 32 years. He does not measure. He smells the vat and knows.

How it's made

From raw earth to finished piece — 6 steps.

  1. Harda soak

    The cotton is first soaked in myrobalan, turning it a pale honey yellow.

  2. Dabu paste

    A mud-and-gum paste is printed onto the cloth wherever the colour must be blocked.

  3. Indigo vat

    The cloth is dipped repeatedly into a fermented indigo vat — it oxidises to blue in the air.

  4. Sun-drying

    The cloth dries flat, indigo deepening as it sets.

  5. Rinse

    The mud paste is scrubbed off in a stone tank, revealing the yellow resist pattern.

  6. Second print

    Madder or pomegranate is over-printed for the final palette.
