Wood Blocks

Maiwa's relationship with traditional printing methods on textiles keeps an entire community of block carvers working. We also commission hand carved wood blocks to sell in our stores. So that all artisans can experience the wonder of working with these magnificent blocks on textiles, in clay and beyond.

Some blocks are designed by us, but most are designed by the very clever geometric imaginations of the carvers themselves.

It is not necessary to print with these blocks to appreciate how beautiful they are. They work as extraordinary objects to inspire you each time you see them.
