Short silk apron with three historical hand-print blocks
The apron in pure silk was printed by genuine handwork with three historic Model blocks.
Hand printing
A hand printing technique for textiles has been known since the 18th century. Its basis is the Model (the printing block), a solid length of wood into which the block cutter drives fine brass pins according to the motif. In exacting handwork the negative of the sought-after motifs is created in this way. Correct mounting of the fabric, careful inking of the Model and finally the precise placing on the fabric make up the skill of a true master of hand printing. A slight offset in the pattern, the so-called Modelzaumstond, proves the authenticity of the hand printing and makes every garment one of a kind. The valuable Model blocks were mostly passed on from generation to generation, yet motifs are lost again and again. Every surviving, unforgotten motif is therefore all the more valuable. Gössl has devoted itself to the singularity of the patterns themselves and digitised them. In this way the old motifs are preserved and can at the same time be shown creatively in new proportions.
