Pethapur Printing Blocks

The Origin of Pethapur Printing Blocks is believed to be originated at the time of Indus civilization. The Pethapur was founded around 1000 years ago popularly known as 'The Craftsmen's Village' and 'A hub of wood block makers'. The crafts of the village are almost inexhaustible and have an amazing range of block designs.

These wooden printing blocks carved with elegant patterns are used for hand-printing on clothes. Pethapur Printing Blocks are made from 100% seasoned teak wood. Teak wood (locally known as Sagwan) is the perfect base for carving as it is strong and doesn't absorb water or distort in shape or size.

Pethapur is the only place where such fine quality printing blocks are prepared and supplied all over India and famous for the finest printing block makers in the country.

Pethapur Printing Blocks lies in the making of the blocks with extraordinary fineness which involves highly skilled handwork and artwork that involve the expert craftsmen who can carve blocks with lines almost a millimeter thin and so close together, that it is a wonder how even one chisel stroke, that could leave the design spoiled and useless, does not go wrong. 

"The unique workmanship of Pethapur in the unique craft of block engraving establishes it top among all the centers of India."
