If you are new to Indian Wooden Block Printing or wanting a refresher then this workshop is perfect for you.

Discover the ancient art of block printing using hand carved wooden blocks made in rural India by skilled artisans. Block printing can be used to create designs on bags, soft furnishing, clothing, lampshades, paper and more.

Choosing from a large selection of blocks you will learn how to experiment with colour and design, how to use two colours, and how to create repeat patterns on your sampler piece of fabric. Once you are ready to move on you will print a tote bag.
