  • 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 runner, table cloth, napkins, curtains , greeting cards, envelopes, gift wrapping paper, pottery and even walls to mimic a wallpaper!

    Hand printing using wooden blocks is a traditional art form that originated in India, specifically in the Rajasthan region. Some of the very famous block prints are ajrakh, bagh, dabu and sanganeri. Unfortunately, due to intensive industrialization and fast fashion brands, this beautiful art is rapidly disappearing.

    At Table Indienne, our goal is to preserve this art by sharing it with you and restoring it to its former glory.

    We have implemented a fair trade policy to promote Indian artisans in villages and guarantee them a fair wage.
