Workshop
Experience the Art of Block Printing
IBT hosts craft focused workshops all through the year. These workshops are available as in-person sessions at the IBT studios and online. This is a great learning experience where you would not only get in touch with Indian arts but also carry back a piece of India’s Indian-ness as a self-handcrafted souvenir. Come join the IBT community and let us take you through a journey where you would fall in love with the ancient art of block printing. You would interact with the local rural artisans and learn the entire process from birth to finish of your entire garment. Indulgence in traditional history and culture will enhance your experience of wearing and using our products.
There are a few things that fit into the ‘timeless’ umbrella, and we feel the art of block printing is one of them. You can now learn this centuries’ old traditional art form from Rajasthan at this DIY workshop. You’ll be in the hands of a master artisan, who’ll impart his knowledge and skills to you and even help you create your very own masterpiece. Need a creative outlet after a mechanical week at work? This might be exactly what you need to unwind. The workshop will start off with giving you a short historical perspective and take you through the different stages in the printing process with the help of swatches. You can then go ahead and pick up a carved teak wooden block, dip it in the dye of your choice and get started. You would be given a piece of clothing or textile {stole, dupatta, T-shirt, T-Towel, cushion or even a handkerchief of cotton or silk} to get as creative as you want with the patterns. No prior experience is needed.
In the end you would have created a personal handmade souvenir to carry back and numerous stories and experiences that make interesting chatters sessions back home.
