We work closely with specially-abled artisans from their community centers, providing vocational training that keeps traditional block printing alive. When you visit, you are not just observing a craft, you are witnessing a multi-generational ecosystem where skills are passed down, celebrated, and shared with anyone willing to learn. Our studio in Sadashivnagar is a space where the rhythm of work is dictated by the seasons and the people who inhabit it. We are a women-led team, and our daily operations rely on a community that spans generations—some of our artisans have been with us for decades, and today, they work alongside their own children. This continuity is how we keep the traditional techniques of Bangalore's block printing alive in an urban, fast-paced environment. We don't believe in keeping this craft behind closed doors. Whether it is our Ayudha Pooja ceremony, where we honor the tools that sustain us, or our collaborative sessions with visiting artists and designers, our doors are open to those who respect the process. Our partnerships, including those with international organizations like the Bábbarra Women's Centre, allow for a genuine cross-cultural exchange of skills and stories. When you join a workshop, you are invited into this circle. You will learn directly from the master artisans who have spent their lives perfecting these motifs, and you will understand why we treat every piece of fabric as a keepsake rather than a product. We encourage you to come in, share a filter coffee, and see how heritage is a living, breathing thing. ## About Tharangini Studio We are Tharangini Studio, and our space in Sadashivnagar is more of an extended family home than a workplace. We have spent decades nurturing a community that blends ancestral skills with modern design, and we would love to welcome you into that circle.
