Hand Block Printing Workshop - from Tuesday 27th to Friday 6th


Block_printing_Jagriti_2013_2India is a place well known for its beautiful hand-woven fabrics, rich embroidery designs and colourful patterns. Traditional techniques are still used to create these fabrics, notably the famous textiles of rural Rajasthan and Gujarat that are still printed by hand using wooden blocks. Brands such as Anokhi and Fab India, as well as a number of designers, have revived this technique and created lovely outfits.
Learn to design and create wonderful patterns with the technique of hand block printing on paper and cloth. Students will use wooden blocks and dyes to create designs. For 12 years and older only. Materials will be provided, but at a later stage of the workshop, students will have to bring a white cotton cloth.
Cost: Rs. 2,800.
