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
caring for your blocks
Our blocks are made to last you a lifetime of printing, but it’s important to give them the love they deserve in between projects.
- Wash new printing blocks before using for the first time to remove any oils or dirt that may affect your printing success, the white paint from the surface will start to fade which will allow your printing block to hold the paint better.
- To clean your blocks between colours, just wipe with a dry rag to remove the colour, you can then apply a new colour.
- When finished, be sure to wash your wooden block under the tap with warm water and scrub all the paint out of the design with a nail brush.
- Ensure your printing blocks dry before packing them away.
