Product Details
About our blocks
Our Indian wooden printing blocks are hand carved on a Fairtrade project in Jaipur, India and are made using a sustainable wood known as sheesham. The designs are traced and carved onto the wood. The blocks are then left to soak in mustard oil for several days, this preserves the wood making it non-absorbent.
How to use a wooden printing block
All of our wooden printing blocks can be used to hand print your own fabric, paper, card & clay.
Printing on fabric: use a fabric paint or other medium to ensure the design is totally washable. Our fabric paints require heat setting with an iron to make permanent.
Printing on paper & card: you can use a wide variety of paints. Ink pads aren't always wet enough to use with the printing blocks so we advise using paint such as acrylic .
To ensure you get a good print, use a square piece of sponge or a dabber to apply your paint/dye/medium and a foam printing mat (or something soft) underneath the item.

My journey into slow crafting began with these hand-carved sheesham blocks from Jaipur. The rich mustard oil scent whispers of their artisans' care. Following the simple steps, I pressed the intricate design onto linen; a perfect, permanent heirloom was born with just a dab of paint.

When I first lifted the sheesham block from its mustard‑oil bath, its smooth grain hinted at the craft behind it. Pressing paint onto fabric, then onto the carved motif, yielded crisp, washable prints that felt both timeless and responsibly made.
