Full Day Specialist Indian Block Printing Workshop

Print your own linen apron and napkins at this Indian block printing workshop in Cambridge.



6 hours Class size 5 to 30 guests       £120 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this Indian block printing workshop in Cambridge and enjoy a slow, grounding exploration of pattern and rhythm. Rooted in an ancient textile tradition, this experience invites you to work with repetition and imperfection, allowing each design to unfold naturally with every press.
In a calm and welcoming space, you'll learn the basics of hand block printing using carved wooden blocks and fabric inks. You'll be guided gently through the process, which encourages you to trust your pace, embrace small variations, and enjoy the meditative quality of printing by hand.
During your session, you'll:
  • Create a series of prints – Experiment with patterns on papers and test fabrics to find your flow.
  • Develop final designs – Apply your new skills to create beautiful patterns on your linen apron and napkins.
  • Explore colour and layout – Play with different combinations in a supportive, low-pressure setting.
There's no rush here – just time to connect with a centuries-old craft and switch off from the digital world. You'll finish the day with your hand-printed experiments, your bespoke linen items, and a revitalised appreciation for the beauty of slow, intentional making.

I am a textile artist and maker with a love for traditional craft and slow, considered design. I create hand-drawn illustrations and design and make woodblock-printed childrenswear, which I sell through my online shop. My work is strongly influenced by Indian block printing, natural forms, and the beauty of handmade processes.
I run Indian Block Printing workshops that offer a thoughtful introduction to this centuries-old technique. My workshops are relaxed, well-structured, and suitable for beginners, providing a welcoming space to learn, experiment, and create by hand. I focus on sharing both the practical skills and creating a environment which encourages participants to slow down and enjoy the tactile nature of printmaking.
