ORGANIC COTTON
BLOCK PRINTED BY HAND

We work with this fabric so much that we sometimes have to remind ourselves that it is all printed with natural dyes by artisans using a set of hand-carved wooden blocks.

Just think about that - each shape on the cloth, each figure, each square or dot is the result of a wooden block, a natural dye or resist, and a piece of cloth all coming into contact in exactly the right way at exactly the right time.

There is much more to printing with natural dyes than this of course, natural dyes work through an incredible process that involves many steps for mordants, tannins, resists, and the most colourful part — the natural dyes themselves.

When we remind ourselves of that we are more than a little bit proud of the artisan cloth we are able to offer to you.
