  • 5/5 from Julie Hind, attended Sep 2026: Loved Miffy Textile Studio's Indian Block Print workshop! Rhondda was super friendly gave us great demonstrations, explanations and support. Relaxed vibe allowing us to be as creative as we wished. The session was beginner-proof, and I left with a lovely hand printed 100% cotton Apron which I made myself and pleased it will make a wonderful handmade gift for someone special. The Cushions, tote bags and teatowels made by others on the night all looked fantastic! There was an amazing range of products and such lovely stamps (including numbers and letters) and a wonderful variety of colours to experiment with too. The Balerno Welcome Station made for a good venue, bright, clean and welcoming and so very convenient for those living in or near Balerno. Thank you Rhondda! Had a fantastic time. Highly Recommend!

Our whole group was totally focused on their designs — and everyone was thrilled with their final prints. Such a lovely way to spend time with friends.

From Stitching to Printing: My Creative Journey
Founded in 2020, my sewing business began as a passion project born out of a love for handmade design.
Desiring truly unique materials, I discovered the ancient art of Indian block printing to create my own custom fabrics. This transformative experience completely shifted my mission. Today, I share that joy by teaching workshops and passing on the love of this beautiful craft. Come take part in an upcoming workshop, experience the magic of printing, and leave with your very own handmade fabric item!
