Always wanted to try block printing?

Craft over Chai

Small block printing sessions in our home studio on Kastanienallee, Berlin Mitte. You print with hand-carved wooden blocks and take the piece home the same day. Every session is beginner-friendly — you choose what you make.

All materials, tools, and the piece you print — there are no hidden fees. Masala chai and snacks included.
