Are all wooden printing blocks identical?

No, and that’s part of their charm!

Every Blockwallah printing block is individually hand-carved by skilled artisans in India. Slight variations in carving, shape and wood grain are natural characteristics of handmade products and make each block unique.

OUR WOODEN PRINTING BLOCKS

Can you make custom wooden printing blocks?

Absolutely!

We can create custom hand-carved wooden printing blocks based on your own designs.

Whether you need a single custom stamp or a larger quantity for your business, please email us to discuss your ideas.

Where are Blockwallah stamps made?

Our wooden printing blocks are individually hand-carved in India from responsibly sourced sheesham wood, also known as Indian rosewood.

Who designs your stamps?

All our wooden printing blocks are designed by our own creative team, and our designs are inspired by nature, traditional Indian patterns and the world around us.

HOW TO USE YOUR PRINTING BLOCKS

Absolutely!

You’re welcome to use our wooden printing blocks to create products for sale.

Whether you’re printing fabrics, making greeting cards, creating artwork or producing other handmade items, you can sell your finished creations.

We love seeing what our customers make with our blocks!

How do I clean my wooden printing blocks?

Taking care of your blocks is easy!

After printing, gently clean them with water and an old toothbrush to remove any remaining paint.

Dry them thoroughly with a towel and leave them to air dry completely before storing.

Avoid soaking your blocks in water for long periods.

With proper care, your Blockwallah wooden printing blocks can last a lifetime!

Can I use wooden printing blocks with clay?

Yes! In fact, many of our customers use their blocks for pottery and ceramics.

Our stamps are wonderful for creating beautiful impressions and textures in clay, polymer clay such as Fimo, and other modelling materials.

Simply press the carved surface into the material to create your design.

Can I use the same wooden printing block on fabric and paper?

Absolutely!

Our wooden printing blocks are wonderfully versatile. You can use the same block on fabric, paper, clay and many other surfaces.

Just make sure to clean it thoroughly between different materials and paints.

How do I print on fabric or paper?

Block printing is wonderfully simple!

  1. Place a towel underneath your fabric or paper. The slightly soft surface gives the block a little cushioning and helps create a clear, even print.
  2. Pour a small amount of paint onto a plate or tray.
  3. Use a small piece of sponge to gently dab the paint onto the carved surface of your wooden block.
  4. Position your block and press it firmly and evenly onto the fabric or paper.
  5. Lift the block straight up to reveal your print!

Experiment with different amounts of paint and pressure to find the result you like best.

Which paints should I use?

You don’t need any special block printing paints to use our wooden stamps!

For fabric printing, regular fabric paints work beautifully. For paper, acrylic paints and other suitable water-based paints are great options.

The best paint depends on your project and the effect you want to achieve. Always follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions, especially when printing on washable fabrics.
