The Art of Hand Block

Block-printed wallpaper is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship, where master printers use hand-carved wooden blocks to create exquisite, layered designs.

Each block carries a single hue, meticulously applied in sequence to achieve depth and harmony within the pattern. The richness of the print, from ethereal watercolour washes to the opulence of oil paint, is shaped by the printer’s skill and the pigment’s viscosity. A hand-brushed ground enhances the depth of colour, while each layer is delicately dried before the next is applied.

Once complete, the wallpaper is hand-trimmed and elegantly rolled, crafted from sustainably sourced, renewable materials with minimal waste.

WATTS 1874 STUDIO

Bespoke Colouring

When our designs were first drawn for the block makers in Watts’ early years they would have been coloured specifically for each job. Today we can offer a wide range of colours but we take great care to use a palette that is true to our design roots.

We are working with Edward Bulmer whose 'Pots of Paint' range has revived the art of natural colour as it uses earth and mineral pigments to make paints of great depth and subtlety. This is also down to the use of traditional binders such as casein and plant oils which help give a velvety feel to the printed surface of our wallpapers.

Using traditional materials helps as part of today’s drive to create sustainable buildings but best of all it ensures that the printed surface avoids the plastic monotony of alkyd and acrylic paints.

"Colour is so subtle, so delicate, so strange in its ways that it seems to be beyond rules and laws"
