As one of the simplest, but most ancient fibre arts in existence, craftsmen carved astonishing patterns into locally sourced teakwood blocks. The ethically sourced blocks are soaked in olive oil for ten days, dried in the Indian sun and can then be used with paints to create inspiring designs on fabric. Now a wide range of these unique Indian wooden printing blocks have been specially designed and made by The Indian Block Company are available to buy online.
