Beginners will fit right in as no experience is needed – just bring your imagination!
Your kids will love getting stuck into this tactile process, while you'll enjoy a feel-good way to catch up and bond over a shared project. We'll provide all the tools and guidance needed to ensure everyone feels confident with their designs. It's a low-pressure environment where the focus is on having fun and enjoying some wholesome time away from screens.
By the end of the workshop, everyone will walk away with a unique, personalised tote bag and the rewarding feeling of having mastered a new craft together.

I’m a London-based block print artist originally from Pakistan, creating handcrafted textiles, homeware, fashion, and accessories. My work blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, celebrating the beauty of slow, sustainable making.
As a mum of four, I balance family life with running my creative business, where each piece is hand-printed with care and intention. From intricate linen eye masks to vibrant quilted pouches and hand-printed lavender sachets, my collections bring artistry and functionality together.
Beyond my studio, I host block printing workshops in Leyton Green, offering people the chance to explore this beautiful craft—whether it’s for a special occasion like Mother’s Day or simply for the joy of making. I also organize artisan markets, curating spaces where independent makers can share their work with the community.
As a Small Business Ambassador at the British Library, I’m passionate about supporting fellow creatives and growing my own brand. With a focus on expanding my online presence, I’m working on new ways to share my collections and connect with a wider audience.
I’m currently preparing for my Spring/Summer Collection launch on March 7th, featuring fresh block-printed textiles, homeware, and accessories. Stay tuned for new designs, and if you’d love to experience the magic of block printing firsthand, join me at one of my workshops!
