Handmade Block Printing for Custom Textiles and Events
Every project I touch is a story. From custom teak blocks to live printing stations, I bring the ancient craft of hand-block printing to your wedding, brand, or home, celebrating the natural variations that only human hands can create.
This is where it all begins. I work with an artisan with over 30 years of experience to turn your design into a hand carved wooden block. This video shows the incredible skill it takes to carve a four color floral design into teak wood, a process that took five days to perfect before it was ready to be pressed onto fabric.
From my studio to the streets of Milan. This was a spring summer collection I created for an international fashion label, using a custom carved poppy flower block. We chose a simple two color print on organic cotton to create a sophisticated, modern look for their dresses, shirts, and shorts.
I love bringing a unique, handmade touch to special occasions. For this beautiful eco friendly wedding in Bangalore, we printed custom leafy motifs onto fabric used for all the seating arrangements. It created a cohesive and sustainable decor element that perfectly matched the couple's vision.
Building long term relationships with brands is at the heart of what I do. This is a look at some of the block printed bedsheets and bedcovers I have been creating for a home linen brand for over seven years. Each piece is handcrafted with organic dyes, bringing a story of craft into the home.
This project was pure joy, printing a festive collection of butterflies, dragonflies, and flowers onto delicate Chanderi silk for a brand in Cochin. Each motif was carefully placed to symbolize freedom and lightness, creating a truly unique handloom silk saree.
There is a beautiful science to layering colors in block printing. This mini masterclass shows how we achieve a complex, three color print by hand. We start with the lightest color, add a mid tone for contrast, and finish with the boldest outline to make the motif come to life.
Your story, printed your way. For the Haldi party of the Birla and Gokuldas families, I created a custom block with the couple's wedding hashtag. Guests could then print their own pouches as a memorable, personalized gift from the special day.
Every block I hold contains a story waiting to be told. This ginkgo leaf design is one of my favorites, representing resilience and history. When you choose a design, you are choosing a piece of a much larger narrative.
The beauty of handmade lies in its perfect imperfections. This peacock feather print shows the slight variations that make each impression unique. This is not screen printing; it is a craft with soul, and I love working with clients who appreciate that every piece is one of a kind.
About Featured
We do not use laser machines; we work with master carvers who shape teak blocks by hand, often taking five days just to get a single floral motif right. Because every single impression is pressed manually on the table, you will see natural variations in the ink intensity—that is how you know it was crafted by a person, not a factory.
Block printing is a journey from wood to fabric, and it is a process I invite you to be a part of. When you work with us, you are not just ordering a print; you are commissioning a custom teak block, carved by skilled experts with over 30 years of experience. This physical block becomes the stamp of your brand or the highlight of your celebration.
The Art of Layering
We specialize in multi-color prints, where we layer inks one by one—starting with light tones and finishing with the boldest outline. This technique creates depth that screen printing simply cannot replicate. We strictly use azo-free, organic pigments that are skin-safe, making our prints ideal for apparel like organic cotton dresses or delicate Chanderi silk sarees.
Why Handmade Matters
You might notice a slight smudge or a faint alignment variation. To us, these are not flaws; they are the signature of the craft. If you are looking for identical, mass-produced perfection, we might not be the right fit. But if you value slow production—where your logo on a gift bag or your wedding motif on seating fabric has its own heartbeat—you have found the right place.
Our Process
- Design Translation: We convert your vision or digital vector into a block-friendly tracing.
- Carving & Curing: Your teak block is hand-chipped and soaked in mustard oil for preservation.
- Strike-off: We perform a test run on fabric to ensure the registration is perfect before production begins.
Whether you are in Bengaluru or across India, we ship your custom textiles directly to your doorstep.
