Block printing is done using wooden or metal
blocks, one for every colour. The background
shapes are cut away to leave a raised design on a
block. The dye is then applied and stamped onto
the fabric. This a very slow process usually craft
industries specialise in this technique.

century. Theres two types of planographic printing,
Lithography and stencilling. Lithography is where an image is
dampened then coated with ink on a printing plate., its then
transferred onto paper. Stencilling is completely different, its
when ink is brushed onto stencil and applied to the paper. This
