Workshop Description:

Learn how to hand block print using hand carved wooden blocks!

Join Ammu from House of Amu for a fun and creative block printing workshop at WMQFA! 

Dive into the vibrant world of hand block printing using hand-carved wooden blocks crafted by artisans in India. 

You'll explore how to gather inspiration, create designs, and experiment with patterns to print your own unique  table runner—no templates, just your imagination. Whether you're a total newbie or an art enthusiast, this laid-back afternoon promises laughter, creativity, and a chance to play with paint (and maybe laugh at my jokes). 

Bring a friend, and let’s make something beautiful together.

Block printing is one of the oldest forms of textile printing. Block printing uses wooden
blocks that are hand carved by artisans in India, to use as stamps to create prints on
fabric.
