Block Shop is a textile, art, and design studio founded by the Los Angeles-based Stockman sisters. We are a multi-generational team of artists and craftspeople devoted to celebrating the rich history, process, and materials of handmade textile production. Block Shop invests 5% of our profits in community initiatives in India and LA, where we partner with local NGOs to provide educational + healthcare-related resources to the communities our work touches.
We believe in small-scale production, fair wages for workers, and healthy working conditions. In LA, this means health insurance and paid parental leave for our full time employees. In India, we embrace a decentralized supply chain in order to support the small family business ecosystem in our partner communities. We invest 5% of our profits each year into our community initiatives in Jaipur and Los Angeles. In Jaipur, we work with PeTOSH global (more below), and in LA, we partner with ArtworxLA and CreateNow; two fantastic organizations providing arts education and art therapy to young people in under-resourced communities.
