THE STORY BEHIND THE STAMP

Blocks & Hue began as a spark of inspiration during a trip to India, where three friends discovered the captivating art of block printing. Immersed in the rhythm of hand-carved stamps, vibrant pigments and centuries-old tradition, they returned to South Africa with a dream: to share that magic in a way that felt accessible, modern and meaningful. Today, Blocks & Hue is a creative space for anyone craving a mindful pause, a burst of colour or the joy of making something by hand. Through handcrafted printing workshops, we aim to bring calm, creativity and connection into everyday life.

MADE TO INSPIRE, DESIGNED TO CONNECT

From our signature block printing workshops to curated DIY kits (watch this space) and creative private events, Blocks & Hue exists to spark creativity and nurture connection. Each of our handcrafted printing workshops is thoughtfully designed to honour the traditional roots of Indian block printing while inviting contemporary exploration and personal expression.


Our block printing kits and tools are made for modern makers who value creativity, sustainability and heritage. Whether you’re printing from home or with us in person, we want every moment to feel intentional, joyful and beautifully yours.

OUR PHILOSOPHY OF CREATIVITY AND CONNECTION

Our ethos is rooted in slowing down and making with meaning. At Blocks & Hue, we honour the heritage of craftsmanship through every stamp and swirl, offering a tactile, joyful escape from the everyday. Each workshop is designed to bring people together; friends, families, teams, strangers - and help them connect through creativity.

Our Indian woodblocks are hand-carved using traditional techniques, and we pair them with earth-conscious paints and natural fabrics for a sustainable, elevated experience. Whether you’re attending a Johannesburg workshop, hosting a creative event or printing at home, we’re here to help you make something that feels truly your own.


As part of the South African craft community, we celebrate artisanal experiences and creative heritage with every product and event we offer.


Crafted by hand. Designed by you.
