Easter egg wooden printing block (6.5cm). Hand-carved from Indian rosewood.

All our wooden printing blocks are hand-carved by Indian artisans from sustainable wood called sheesham or Indian rosewood. These blocks can be used to print on fabric, paper, clay and walls.
With proper care, the wooden blocks will last you lifelong printing, hence you will probably not need to buy the block again. You can use these blocks along with other printing blocks as well and make your own customised designs.
Wooden printing blocks can be used to print on tote bags, cushion covers, table runners, tablecloths, napkins, curtains, greeting cards, envelopes, gift wrapping paper, pottery and even walls to mimic a wallpaper!
At Table Indienne, our goal is to preserve this art by sharing it with you and restoring it to its former glory.
