Tree of Life Napkin
Cream
About
Our classic cream color way to accompany all dining occasions. Drawing from the beloved “Tree of Life” by celebrated Shaker artist Hannah Cohoon (1854), created during the Shakers' mid-19th-century Era of Manifestations, we reimagined her visionary drawing through the language of block printing.
Subtle Block Shop motifs appear in the dotted details and intricate line work of the fruit and foliage, bringing together two craft traditions separated by centuries, but united by a shared belief in beauty and utility.

Process
To make our block printed fabric, each design is traced onto a wooden slab, which then is carved by hammer and chisel into a printing block. The block is then printed meticulously by hand using soft, AZO-free, non toxic pigment.
Variation in printing & color are hallmarks of hand block printing and dyeing in small batches.
Care
Machine wash cold gentle cycle with like colors.
