Make your own block-printed textile using traditional hand-carved wooden blocks.
Led by Isabela Streeter, founder of Haveli Diaries, you will explore the full journey of creating a textile design. Isabela grew up in India and will lead an authentic experience exploring and learn the centuries-old technique of block printing and its rich cultural heritage.
The workshop will focus on developing ideas, translating these into simple motifs, understanding repeat pattern and layout, and learning the fundamentals of traditional block printing. Participants experiment with colour, layering and composition before printing their own designs onto cloth.
Alongside the practical making, the workshop will introduce the heritage of textile craft, the importance of slow, sustainable processes, and how design decisions shape the final outcome
