Join us in our wood block printing class and learn about the age-old technique of hand block printing. Block printing is something that looks easy to do but it takes years and years of experience to do well.
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of pattern design using single unit motifs, different types of suitable fabric, how to set up for block printing at home and receive tips on how to properly get well aligned, consistent, close-to-perfect prints onto fabric.
You will select from a large variety of handcarved wood block stamps, design your own repeat pattern and print on 2-meter long scarf. Exclusively for our block printing workshops, we work with family-owned Indian artisans who have been honing their craft for generations – such as our block carvers and women weavers and seamstresses.
We only work with organisations that employ fair trade practices which take care of the rural artisans' social and environmental well-being and does not maximise profit at their expense. Through our traditional craft workshops, we aim to celebrate the the joy of these artisans and keeping the age old traditional crafts alive.
This workshop is recommended for adults. Children under 12 years old has to be accompanied by a participating adult. Our studio workshop class size is kept small and cosy to ensure each individual gets quality guidance from our instructor.
Open for private bookings only (min. 4 pax per session).
