Minna Hildebrandt has traveled throughout India and South Asia for the past 14 years and lived and studied in the Himalayas. Her husband is from the beautiful state of Kerala and although their home is in Denmark they also live in India for several months of the year.
For thousands of years, craftsmen of India have been making decorative block-printed cottons, enchanting and inspiring others around the world.
Skilled craftsmen stamp the cloth using carved wooden blocks to imprint the designs onto the fabric. Depending on the number of colours and the inticracy of the designs the printer hand stamps the cloth anything from 500 to 2000 times to complete a set of bedlinen.
The art of block-printing is passed down from generation to generation and to achieve the highest quality Minna works with some of the best block-printers in India.
Block-printed textiles are handmade products and the printing process is lengthy and complex. No piece is identical. Small spots and imperfections can occur from the printing process. These are not faults, but reminders of the fact that it is made by hand.
