Jaipur Block Printing Workshop with Lunch & Take-Home Crafts
Hands-On Block Printing Experience in Jaipur’s Old City
If you want to try real block printing in Jaipur—not just watch but actually make something you’ll use—this workshop is worth it. You’ll meet local artists, learn old techniques step by step, and leave with your own hand-printed scarf or bag (plus full bellies from a proper home-cooked meal). It’s relaxed, personal, and you get plenty of time to play around with colors.

- Block printing workshop with artisans
- Choose and print two personalized items
- Enjoy traditional Indian meal
The Experience
The first thing that hit me was the faint scent of wood and dye as we climbed up to the studio—tucked above a bustling designer shop in one of Jaipur’s quieter lanes. Sunlight spilled through old windows, catching on rows of wooden blocks stacked along the walls. Our guide, Priya, greeted us with a quick smile and handed out aprons (I picked the blue one, already splattered from past workshops). She introduced us to Ramesh, a local artisan who’s been block printing since he was a kid—his hands moved fast but steady as he showed us how to press the blocks just right so the colors came out even.
I got to pick two items—a cotton scarf and a tote bag—and honestly, choosing patterns took longer than I thought. There were so many: paisleys, elephants, tiny flowers. The dyes felt cool and thick under my fingers; by the end, my hands were streaked pink and indigo. We chatted over chai while our prints dried on a line strung across the room. Lunch came next—a spread of dal, sabzi, fresh rotis, and something sweet (I think it was kheer), all homemade and way better than anything I’d tried at restaurants nearby. They asked about allergies before serving, which felt thoughtful.
What’s included
You’ll get all printing materials (blocks, dyes), two fabric items to print and take home (choose from scarf, apron, or tote bag), plus water and juice during the session. Afterward, enjoy a homemade Indian lunch tailored to your preferences—all included in your booking.
