What you’ll do
In this beginner-friendly block-printing workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of textile printing with a curated selection of pre-carved wooden blocks. Each block has been handcrafted by skilled artisans, making every print unique.
You’ll explore floral and geometric patterns, experiment with colour and layering, and build your own design step by step.
You’ll start by testing ideas on paper before printing your final piece on fabric.
