Wooden Printing Blocks for all your Art and Craft.
Wood Block printing is a traditional stamping technique still used throughout the world today.
Woodblock printing is a technique of printing made from blocks of wood that have been hand carved with pictures, text, or patterns.
The blocks are then covered with ink and then pressed onto fabric, paper and more to create the desired image.

The three main components for woodblock printing are:
- The wood block stamp, which carries the design
- Ink (or paint), to color the desired design
- Fabric (or other materials) on which the designs are printed onto using the wooden stamps.
