About the art form: 

Dabu printing is a traditional hand carved block printing technique that originates in Rajasthan, India. It involves using a mud-resist paste to create intricate patterns on fabric, which is then dyed using natural indigo dye. Carving and printing is tedious, requiring the attention of a trained and well practiced artisan. Passed down through generations, like a family heirloom, this traditional technique has endured, rendering the makers hand visible in an age of automation that seeks to erase it.
