Wooden Block Printing Workshop in Bangalore: Learn from Artisans

Print your own fabric using centuries-old block techniques

A 90-minute block printing workshop in Bangalore where you learn the traditional technique from experienced artisans, create a hand-printed fabric piece to take home, and work with all materials provided. The class welcomes children from age 2 and runs in English, Telugu, Hindi or Tamil with a live guide.

The experience

You start by learning block printing directly from artisans who practice the craft. The workshop walks you through the ancient technique step by step: how to prepare your fabric, select and apply the carved wooden blocks, and layer colors to build a finished piece. You handle the blocks yourself, pressing them onto fabric and watching the pattern emerge under your hands. The materials come ready: basic fabric for printing, raw materials for eco printing, and everything needed for block work, so you arrive and begin without setup delays.

What you leave with is a completed hand-printed fabric. A towel-sized piece you made in the session. The workshop emphasizes sustainable practices throughout, so the process itself teaches you how traditional block printing connects to environmental consciousness. Because the class stays under two hours, it fits into a morning or afternoon without consuming your whole day in Bangalore.
