Block Print 101: The Art Behind the Textiles You Love
Share
At Quincy & Coco, we believe every table tells a story—and our block-printed textiles are rich with history, heritage, and heart. This timeless technique, rooted in the artisan communities of Jaipur and surrounding regions in India, transforms simple cotton into handmade works of art.
Each piece begins with a hand-carved wooden block, carefully chiseled by master artisans. These blocks are dipped in natural or low-impact dyes and stamped by hand, layer by layer, onto fabric stretched across long tables. It’s a slow, intentional process—every print reflecting the hands and rhythm of the artisan behind it.
Block printing is more than just beautiful. It’s sustainable, small-batch, and deeply human. The imperfections you see? They’re not flaws—they’re the charm of a centuries-old craft that celebrates individuality and tradition.
When you style your table with one of our block-printed napkins or tablecloths, you’re not just adding color—you’re inviting in a piece of global artistry, passed down through generations.
Explore the full block print collection and bring the beauty of handmade into your home.
