In block printing, craftspeople carve a design into a simple wood block, ink or pour hot wax on the block, then stamp the impression on fabric or paper. Craftspeople are often at a disadvantage in India because they lack financial knowledge and promotional skills. Asha Handicrafts, a non-profit organization, partners together with these block print artisans by fairly marketing their creations."
