They are all beautifully carved in hardwood, and can be a decorative feature in themselves when displayed in a basket.
However the uses of these blocks are endless, printing on paper or fabric.
Transfer prints will reverse the design.
Discharge paste, print with the paste and discharge the colour.
Devore, remove the pile or surface of the fabric.

The block can be used to emboss a design on velvet, ironing the damp cloth over a block from the reverse of the fabric.
The design could be scanned into a computer sewing machine and embroidered

These are just a few of the printing blocks I stock from £2 each. I have some larger,
more intricate blocks, priced at £10 and £12 each.
 

ALPHaBeT bLoCKS

If you like printing, and alphabet blocks interest you, I may be able to help.
I have a good selection of wooden & metal printing blocks of different sizes and typefaces, previously used in the printing trade.
They are lovely just to look at, for yourself or as a present for a friend, but I can also make up words or names to order.

You could give me a maximum price, and a name or word which is appropriate and I will send you, either all one font, if I have them or if you prefer, a mixed size and font.
 

I am rapidly running out of the lesser produced letters such as x, z and j.

Prices for individual blocks start at £1.50 each for small blocks up to £4 each for the larger ones. As well as punctuation marks and numbers.
