About The Art of Block Printing
Block printing is more about the rhythm than the result. We provide everything you need—from the hand-carved wooden blocks to our natural dye vats—so you can focus on mastering the pressure and placement. It is a messy process, so come prepared to get stain-happy, but rest assured, our dyes are entirely botanical, safe for your skin, and kind to the earth.
Block printing is an ancient textile art, but at Color Ashram, we treat it as an act of resistance against toxic fashion. When you join our sessions, you aren't just learning to stamp patterns; you are learning the chemistry of color. We use only natural pastes derived from plants and minerals. Unlike synthetic alternatives, these dyes are gentle on the environment and yield earthy, rich tones that synthetic inks cannot replicate.
What to expect during a session
We teach you the entire lifecycle of the print. You will learn to prepare the fabric, manage the consistency of the dye paste, and apply the steady, even pressure required to get a crisp impression.
- Beginner Workshops: Perfect for a weekend activity. You get to play with pre-prepared vats and experiment with basic motifs on cotton pouches, handkerchiefs, or tote bags. It is a great way to unwind.
- Technical Masterclasses: For those looking to dive deeper, we cover mordant chemistry and the science behind why certain flowers, roots, and minerals bind to specific fibers. You will explore advanced techniques like layering and multi-color printing.
Whether you are a homeschooler, a curious traveler passing through Mysuru, or a local designer looking to upskill, our studio doors are open. Our space in the Hebbal Industrial Area is designed for connection. You might find a local student sharing a table with an artist from across the world, all connected by the quiet, meditative rhythm of printing. We invite you to step away from the digital and back into the physical, where your palms tell the story of what you have created.
