Block Printing workshop
Join us for an Indian block printing workshop
Welcome to the world of wooden block printing.
This traditional art originating from India, particularly from the Rajasthan region, is not limited to printing a wooden block on fabric. We have designed and developed various blocks with the help of extremely talented Indian artisans who hand-carved these magnificent pieces. The harmony of shapes, colors and fabrics is found in this workshop that we offer you. At the end of this workshop, you will leave with a block-printed fabric that you designed yourself.
