Print your own Canvas Tote Bag

This Indian block printing workshop is a slow and grounding exploration of pattern, rhythm, and touch. Rooted in an ancient textile tradition, block printing invites us to work with repetition and imperfection—allowing each print to unfold naturally, one press at a time.

In a calm, welcoming space, you’ll learn the basics of hand block printing using carved wooden blocks and fabric inks.

I’ll guide you gently through the process, encouraging you to trust your pace, embrace small variations, and enjoy the meditative quality of printing by hand.

You will spend the morning creating a series of prints on both papers and test fabrics in preparation for your final design. In the afternoon, you will work on final designs to print on your large canvas tote bag.

There’s no rush and no pressure—just time to explore pattern, play with color, and connect with a centuries-old craft in a modern, supportive setting.

You’ll leave with your own hand-printed experiments and your beautifully printed tote bag which will be strong enough to do your grocery shop and large enough to carry all you need for trips to the beach. You will gain a deeper appreciation for slow making, intentional design, and the beauty of work made by hand.

Come as you are. All materials are provided.

Please note: As this is is full day, you will need to bring a packed lunch.

* Please note: this workshop will only run with a minimum of 5 people. Should there be less than 5 people, I will either offer a refund or you can book onto a future workshop that has available space.
