Selecting and seasoning wooden blocks

Sanding and smoothening one face of the wooden block by rubbing it over a large flat stone

Transferring the design from paper to wooden block, one block for every colour in the design

Hand carving the wooden block

Creating air vents in the wooden block

Attaching the handle

Layering the trampoline with different fabrics to achieve the right amount of colour pickup by the block

Stretch the fabric on the printing table and pin it down in place so that the warp and weft remain straight and at right angles

Use the wooden block to gently pick up colour from the wooden tray and stamp it on the cloth at the right place.

Continue picking up colour and stamping ensuring that the same amount of colour is picked up every time and it is stamped on the cloth with the same pressure

As one impression is placed next to the other the alignment and orientation must remain the same over the entire area of the cloth. This requires a lot of attention and consistency.
