Crafts and makers

Sanganeri block printing

Sanganeri printing is a textile tradition associated with the Jaipur area of Sanganer. Rajasthan Tourism names Sanganeri printed textiles among the crafts for which the region is known. A finished fabric may involve different materials, printing steps and finishing methods, so the craft name alone does not explain how a particular item was produced. The most useful way to learn is to speak with the maker or seller.

What to know

A craft visit can show the relationship between design, carving, colour and repeated hand work. If you arrange a workshop visit, you may see how a print develops from a block and pattern into fabric. Buyers can support local makers by asking clear questions and choosing products whose process and origin are explained.

Good to Know

Not every textile labelled Sanganeri is made by the same process or in the same place. Ask who made the piece, what material it uses and how to care for it. Workshop access varies, and production may be underway, so arrange visits in advance and follow the maker's rules.
