Block Printing Workshop

In this inspiring session, you’ll design and print your very own fabric tote bag, using intricate, hand-carved wooden blocks, a traditional art form from the vibrant region of Rajasthan, India.

The workshop begins with a live demonstration to guide you through the techniques, followed by plenty of time for you to experiment and create your own patterns. Once you're feeling confident, you’ll bring your final design to life on your tote bag or tea towel — a unique piece to take home or gift to someone special.

No experience is needed. These friendly, welcoming sessions are all about slowing down, connecting with your creativity, and finding joy in the process.

Your guide for the day is Claire from Chalo Block Printing, whose love of India was sparked during her first backpacking trip in the 1990s. Her many journeys through India — gathering fabrics, art, and memories — along with her work in wellbeing as a Holistic Massage Therapist, bring a spirit of mindfulness, colour, and history to each workshop.
