Woodblock Sets

These custom woodblock sets are cut to size here at The Armarie Room, making it easy to create perfectly matched blocks for multi-block printing. The 6 mm thickness helps the blocks remain flat during printing, while the smooth, grain-free surface allows for effortless carving, crisp detail and strong, even areas of colour.

Ideal for both beginners and experienced printmakers, they're a reliable choice for relief printing, embossing and multi-block colour work.

Why we love them at The Armarie Room:

The smooth, grain-free surface is a pleasure to carve, particularly for fine lines and intricate detail. It also transfers ink beautifully, producing rich, even colour on press. The 6 mm thickness keeps the blocks flat on the press or bench, making them ideal for both single-block and multi-block relief printing.

Recommendations:

• Ideal for woodcut and multi-block colour printing.

• Suitable for embossing techniques.

• Use woodcut tools, such as Japanese carving tools, for the best carving experience.

• Compatible with both water-based and oil-based relief inks.

• After printing, allow any remaining ink to dry on the surface rather than cleaning it away. This seals the block and creates a durable surface for future editions.
