What Makes It Uncommon

A traditional technique practiced for centuries in India, block printing uses carved blocks and ink to create intricate, colorful patterns on all kinds of textiles. Get an introduction to this iconic art form with a DIY set that includes everything you need to print an eye-catching design on a cotton tote.

  • Each kit includes one cotton tote bag, four hand-carved wooden blocks (tulip flower, tulip plant, square, half circles border), five bottles of nontoxic ink (black, white, red, blue, and yellow), one rubber brayer, one paintbrush, one ink plate, and instructions.
  • Beginner’s guide offers instructions and tips along the way, and four precarved wooden blocks let you jump right into laying out the perfect print.
  • Tote measures 13.5" x 15.5" with a 10" handle.
  • Purchase additional totes to create block-printed masterpieces for friends and family.
  • Made in India.
