In 2015, I began a journey designing a set of hand-held block-printing tools.
These tools were originally inspired by the traditionally carved wooden tools of India and Southeast Asia, in that I wanted them to be used for printing patterns.
My goal, however, is to create modular tools that allow for patterns to be adjustable and re-designable by the user. I want to create fun interactive tools that allow for the creative process of pattern-making to be an integral component of the tool.
The Pin Block, Pin Cone, and Sequence Tool are all re-arrangeable. Allowing for the flexible tube or the blocks and rings to be moved, printed, moved again. Aligned, re-aligned, and printed repeatedly for pattern and surface design.
They are a labor of love and prototyping is slow, but I hope to bring them to your hands very soon.
Patent Pending on all 3 tools!
