This hands-on workshop offers a relaxed introduction to hand block printing at Weavers Studio. Set within a working studio, the session is guided by artisans and members of the team, allowing participants to explore printing on cloth using traditional wooden blocks. With access to a collection of over 10,000 hand-carved blocks, participants gain a close view of the depth and variety of this living craft tradition. Designed for beginners, the workshop requires no prior experience and is well suited as a family activity or shared creative session. It offers an opportunity to slow down, learn together, and create something meaningful — whether as a bonding experience, a way of making memories, or simply spending time exploring craft. Participants will: Learn the basics of block printing using carved wooden blocks Understand how repeat patterns are built and colour is applied by hand Hear about the history of block printing and its continued practice today Create a printed piece to take home — something made together
